When we make an appointment with the doctor, we know the exact time, date, doctor name and location that we will go. The Death and Dying time does not have the exactly time. We may notice the sign and symptom of approaching death, the physician and nurse might predict the length of time from the original diagnosis to death time is still inaccurate. When the death time is reached, there is no way to turn a way. The death time comes like a thief. Your body is becoming a corpse. No blood…

I have an Afghan friend named Haisha. We met in the sixth grade at Greenfield Elementary School and became best friends. To her dismay, on April 13, 2017 our military, under orders from President Trump, dropped the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) in Afghanistan to kill Isis fighters. While I understand the President's responsibility to protect our country from its enemies, it should not be done with the blatant disregard for innocent human lives. Unfortunately, a bomb of that magnitude has…

The period between Joshua, Judges, and Ruth was an unique era. In Joshua, the Israelites had to fight many battles and conquer cities and towns to obtain land. In Judges we read that Israel needed constant rescuing, as God was punishing them for their lawlessness. Lastly, in Ruth we see how God works out His sovereign plan, even through seemingly ordinary means. Joshua is a book of conquering and allotting land. It opens as God gives Joshua a promise of victory (1:2-5) and a command to be…

Despite the connections of Ruth and Judith to the wisdom the of the Proverbs 31 woman and Esther’s implicit association, yet because Ruth and Esther do not follow Torah like Judith their actions are not righteous. Judith follows the dietary laws noted in the Torah. Judith “…gave her maid a skin of wine and a flask of oil, and filled a gag with roasted gain, dried fig cakes and fine bread; she wrapped up all her dishes and gave them to her to carry” (Judith, 10:5). Judith follows the Torah,…

Introduction There is a constant theme of the presence of God in the Old Testament in which God attempts to show His people (the Israelites) His law and how to live by them. Idolatry, one of the largest problems amongst the Israelites in the old testament and many of the letters of Paul to the churches in the new testament are proof that this is an ongoing issue Them Exodus is the second book of the Old Testament through which God’s fulfilment of promises to past generations are communicated…
