THE PARABLES
Thadeus nodded, not so much because he agreed with Jesus, but from how impressed he was by the way Jesus deflected every question, accusation and inference made toward Him. The crowd hushed when Jesus looked at the leaders and spoke. “Here’s another parable: One day a landowner prepared a vineyard. He built a fence around… Continue reading THE PARABLES
FRESH VISION

They need a touch, too.”… Continue reading IS IT LAWFUL TO DIVORCE?
ISRAEL’S KING
David paced the roof of his home. His thoughts were of his nation’s future. A prayer came to his lips. “LORD, I need You now. My heart is heavy for Your people. We’ve been at war with ourselves.

NOT TO WAR
“Achish is here to see you.” David stopped chewing his lunch. “Achish..he’s never come to see us at Ziklag. I wonder what’s up.” He glanced at Abigail as he stood. She shrugged her shoulders.
