A Desire of the Heart Shirley and I were married between the Arts and Theology years of university so our financial resources were very tight. I was working on a tree nursery farm just south of Winnipeg for the summer months between semesters as well as preparing for a move to seminary in Saskatoon. As a result, we could not afford to take off more time than a four-day weekend. This was hardly enough time for my face to heal from all the mosquito bites I had acquired while riding a tree planter…

Shepherd gave an example of how god was willing to be sacrificed as well as being a leader for his people. Stained glass brought light to a beautiful story as well as giving illiterate people a chance to understand the Bible. The printing press allowed for faster access to the Bible, allowing many people access to all the history contained within its…

shall add unto him plagues, / but he that sat upon the throne said, // I make all things new. / I John saw, I testify” (65). These lines are a type of indirect quote of John the prophets revelations about end times. By referencing this section in the Bible, H.D. places herself in the same position as John. She places great emphasis on John by reciting, “I John saw, I testify” twice (65). By placing herself into the position of a prophetess, she also creates a…

latest and most radical archaeology which proved the historical accuracy of the Bible, even though written by a non-Christian. David Rohl radically reshaped the history of Israel in his book ‘A Test Of Time.’1 Rohl questioned the false basis for the timeline of Egyptian kings and in doing so he swept away hundreds of years of unbelief. I dared to teach this radical stuff to my pupils. I dared to teach that the Bible is true! It was almost like the Holy Spirit approved. Several times during…
