Noah Found Grace
I guess all the rain has me thinking about Noah and the Ark. It’s been raining hard here for a few days with at least two more to go. It’s nothing like the people of Noah’s day experienced however and I am glad for that. Noah’s story begins in Genesis 6:5 ff when the wickedness […]
Knowing the Word of God
