I love the way you have structured your response to the lesson on “Commissioning Moses.” It provides ease of reading and clarity.

will help to avoid verses being taken out of context during sermons.

It was interesting to note that the Books of Daniel and Nehemiah are written in Aramaic, not Hebrew.

I learned that versions are translations of copies of the original manuscripts that no longer…

The gift of discerning of spirits is absolutely necessary in these end times, when there is so much deception.

The gifts of the Holy Spirit are truly a blessing in our lives and in Ministry!

It must have been really helpful having Ray Stedman’s book, “Genesis: The Method of Faith” as a reference or resource to guide you with your studies on Genesis.
I honestly don’t know how people cope with the challenges of life without God

The true value of setting objectives for teaching Biblical subjects was so informative, It added to my learnings.

There needs to be an inner transformation, plus a change in action.

You can hear and feel King David’s desperation in his call to God. However, he is not alone; his faith and trust in a higher power, God, the Rock, provide him with a sense of comfort and safety.
