Egypt became the cradle of God’s protection. Not for the first time. Israel had been there before, groaning under Pharaoh. But this time, the Father would call His Son out and not with a staff and parted sea, but with silence and a dream.   The first breath He drew smelled of manure and hay.... Continue Reading

Even if we die before the return of the Lord, our flesh, raised by the power of Christ, shall be reunited with our souls. For those who know the only true God, and Christ as Lord and Saviour, this is a sure hope and eternal comfort.    But when the time comes to face the... Continue Reading
