In the East when two parties were not able to work out their differences, they may have sought out a daysman. Job 9:32 and 33: For he [God] is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that… Continue Reading
God makes Himself known to us by way of His written Word. He desires that we understand and know Him intimately and specifically, so He has given Himself descriptive names in the Scriptures.

This aircraft carrier is not a small ship by any means—its deck is about four and one-half acres in size. Aboard this ship, I was quite amazed to learn that a small wheel about the… Continue Reading
