    “For He looks to the ends of the earth And sees everything under the heavens.” Job 28: 24 (NASB) When I read the story of Abraham and Sarah in their quest to have a child, I find myself feeling sorry for Hagar. She was an Egyptian maidservant with few choices and no support.  [...]

   ‘Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities.’ Romans 13:1 (NKJV) My mother and I believe that God is a Republican.  Just kidding.  Actually, the Bible is very clear that a Christian can live and worship as a child of God in any kind of government.  It just takes a lot of strength [...]
