Daily Readings in the Bible 2 Kings 22-25
Josiah was eight years old when he became Judah’s king (2 Kings 22:1). His reign as Judah’s king was prophesied some 350 years prior.

The Gospel According to the Thief on the Cross
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise (Lk. 23:43-44). The thief on the cross is a polarizing figure. Some want to overlook his supposed last-minute faith. Others want to […]
Things Most Surely Believed
