Leaving home for the first time is hard, very hard, for a child to do. But do it the child must. It is part of growing up into adulthood. Life beckons, and it must be sought. Abraham was a man who left his father’s home, but his leaving was unique: the Lord called him to…

God is a spirit being, yet he has a face. “His face” is one of holiness, kindness, and love for his mankind. This is what mankind should see and rejoice! But in the sin of Adam and Eve, this is not what we see. When see God’s face, we see our own destruction. He is…

God also has made use of water through the history of the world, bringing judgment to unbelievers and salvation to believers, such as the flood at Noah’s time.
