Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil — and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

Jesus Christ: The Strength and Power Of God – Luke 11:20-22

The Invisible One – Hebrews 11:27
By faith he left Egypt, unafraid of the king’s anger; for he persevered as though he saw him who is invisible. How readily our eyes deceive us.

The Word is Living – John 1.1
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Sunday assemblies at the Fourth Street church of Christ for an active, preschool boy weren’t always the most exciting events. (Profound understatement.) Ours was an autonomous, non-institutional, sectarian congregation, so you can rest assured that almost nothing about … Continue reading The Word is Living – John 1.1
