By Elizabeth Prata I was pondering the ‘stain out a gnat, swallow a camel’ verse yesterday (Matthew 23:24). That blog essay is here.

By Elizabeth Prata Any day is a good time to ponder who God is. He is worthy of service and worship. Tim Challies created a visual theology of God’s attributes. Remember, God’s attributes are not parts that make up a whole. Everything good that there is, is 100% contained in God. He is 100% beauty ..read more
