Fear of the Lord
Night after night on the evening news, I cringe as I watch in horror all of the violent rioting, shooting, burning, looting, and blasphemous words on the lips of large masses of crowds that have congregated in major cities within the United States (and other countries too).

Who is God?
In my previous post, we discussed some of the reasons that my husband and I choose to believe there is a God, a Creator.

Now that we've chosen … Continue reading Who is God?
