God’s words are powerful! We know this truth, right? But do we really understand how powerful they are? I think if we did, we’d value being in His Word more and savor them more in our hearts. I mean, when we stop and contemplate the true power of God’s words,
This is our last day in the book of Joshua! These verses are Joshua´s last speech to the people of Israel. He exhorts the people to abolish idolatry and asks them to serve the Lord. But he reminds them also that, to serve the Lord, they have to be holy.

Before the battle had even begun, God told Joshua HE had delivered Jericho into Joshua’s hands. I know we don’t really like to talk about battles or wars anymore. The idea of everyone “co-existing” together sounds nice. Driving around town or on our highways, many of us will spot a
I started translating for Love God Greatly a year after I became a Christian – with no experience, little theology, and a whole lot of burning passion to bring something beautiful and resourceful to the women in my country. Originally from the Czech Republic, I was living in Northern Ireland
