TROUBLED SOUL
Show me favor, Adonai, for I am in trouble. My eyes grow dim with anger, my soul and body as well. PSALM 32:10 We are all susceptible to anger that darkens our soul and body; anger that clouds our thinking. The decisions we make when we are angry and when we have no peace may create…

THE WAY
Yeshua said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through Me” John 14:6 How does a dirt path form and why does it so often wind along, sometimes for reasons not clear to us? If, like me, you have had the privilege of seeing paths…

“Lay hold of my words in your heart, keep my commands and you will live!” Proverbs 4:4 The word of Adonai is to our spiritual being as healthy food is to our body. When we neglect to nourish our bodies, we will become frail which may lead to death. Likewise, neglecting the word of God will lead…

But why is marriage often so difficult? After all,…
