I'm really a morning person, if left to my own devices. When I'm involved with someone (when I was married or when I'm dating someone) that schedule gets pushed to the back. For one thing, I seem to pick night owls. But for another, it is hard to find one-on-one time before kids are in bed, which means staying up. But when I am left on my own, I tend to go to bed at the same time as the kids - 9 or 9:30, read for maybe 30 minutes and then crash. That...

Sinai were not the Ten Suggestions. They are commandments." Unfortunately Mr. Koppel was wrong on both counts. In the Hebrew text, the translation is properly "words" or "sayings" rather than "laws" or "commandments." This part of the sacred text...

Special dedication to Lamont Bershawn
I don't know what I've done in my life to be so blessed. I had a brother named Daniel, when I was forty years old he passed. I met a man named Thomas and a man named Lamont. I didn't know when I met them they'd become my new brothers. I never had a younger brother and I never knew what it would feel like to have a healthy older and younger brother. For my brother Daniel had been sick his entire life.
I'm...

Here is a guide to devotions for each week of the year. The priests of old tended the fire in the tent of meeting, where the people offered their gifts and rededicated themselves to God. Because of Christ's sacrifice on the cross, we no longer worship with burnt offerings. Yet we must tend and preserve the spiritual fires. Brother Lawrence, Martin Luther, and many others have fanned the flames. Jesus Christ is still the Way, the Truth, and the Life....
