A few days ago, while meditating with someone very special to me, we reflected on Psalm 55. It’s an intensely emotional psalm—David pours out his heart, struggling with the pain of betrayal by someone he deeply trusted. Although he doesn’t name the betrayer, many biblical scholars believe David was referring to either Absalom, his son […]

In elementary school, we were introduced to the characteristics of living things using the acronym MR NIGER-D.

“The solution to pollution is dilution.” I can’t exactly remember where or when I first heard that phrase, but I vividly remember the day it made perfect sense – right there in the theatre, in the middle of a tough surgery. Our patient was a middle-aged petty trader, the kind of person you could tell

The Bible contains around 3,237 individual characters. Of these, only about 1,794 are mentioned by name. To simply be referenced in the pages of Scripture is remarkable. But for the bible to record your actual name, that’s significant. Think about it: in a book of just 783,137 words, space was found to insert your name
