Jon’s Hands Sometimes, one will never know someone’s story, but if their hands could talk, they would tell everywhere they have been and everything they have seen. Over the years, I have been able to see Jon’s hands all over the countryside. Jon’s hands are one of the most worked, nurturing, strong hands I’ve ever had the pleasure of shaking because Jon has the All-American cowboy hands. As I stand there at the roper’s box, waiting for the header to ride in, I lean back to tell Jon a joke.…

Baal worship quickly came into the lives of the Israelites. Once they disobeyed God and married within other tribes, they picked up more from their culture. This happened when they became scattered across Canaan and for those who failed to destroy the idols to false gods. Baal worship included a dark side of worship which was religious prostitution,…

Jonah and Nehemiah are two prophets that can teach us Christians a lot of life lessons and also how to deal with things when adversity strikes. The story of Jonah is one of the more well-known stories throughout the Bible, probably because we can learn so much from it in what is such a little book of God’s Word.
