I had to respond to a question from an apostolic associate in our ministry family in another nation. I needed to correct the notion that there was only one prophet or major prophet at a time in the Old Testament and perhaps the New. Also address the question of where were the prophets in light […]
2020 is one year that I have looked forward to seeing in hindsight. It has been a year like none other we have experienced. Yet now, as I look back over the trials, I’m still impressed with how the Lord prepared the way in spite of surprises. One thing I have learned is not to […]
A Legacy of Blessings One of the more remarkable events signaling Devine favor on the Pilgrims occurred near the end of their first winter in the new land.
