Change Number 2746

Posted on February 2, 2021 by ehurst

Bear with me here; I’m trying to explain something that defies easy explaining. If you can buy into my notion that things are in a state of flux as God watches what men outside His covenants do, then maybe you … Continue reading →

Faithful to His Glory

Posted on July 21, 2020 by ehurst

Lonely Mission

Posted on December 25, 2019 by ehurst

Merry Christmas! Think about it: Jesus was alone. Not just on the Cross as our Savior, but as a human being. How many people did He encounter who actually understood what He was doing? His closest friends and relatives among … Continue reading →

Ready for the Harvest

Posted on October 31, 2019 by ehurst
