When the Children of Israel left Egypt they had to go through the wilderness. Now, they stayed in the wilderness for 40 years because of unbelief and sin, but even if they had gone straight to the Promise Land, the path was still through the wilderness. We often associate the “wilderness” with sin, but sometimes …
One of the hardest things to do is to do or say what God wants when it is not the popular thing to do or to say! Today, the “in” way to think is “whatever makes them happy.” In other words – if the kids don’t like the teacher, instead of teaching the kid the …
