Genesis 14-15:6 “I didn’t do it, Daddy. Really.” There are times when I’ve chosen to believe what someone has told me, even though in the back of mind I knew that there was a slight chance that I might be wrong. Compare that with Abram’s belief. God had...
Genesis 15 One of my favorite ways to be alone with God is to be outdoors. Yesterday, I climbed up into a deer stand with a steaming cup of coffee and silently watched the sun set. I came down with energy and a new perspective. Where do you go to get perspective? What places help you dream...
