I’ve about finished reading through the Pentateuch again and it has changed how I pray for my family. This probably is not a new thing for anybody, but I have much to learn! Moses regularly prayed for God to be merciful and forgive the sins of the Israelite’s. I had never prayed for God to [...]

“Eschatology determines ethics.” So said Dr. Hafemann almost everyday in Greek 101 at Wheaton College. And he’s right.
