Attracted to The Lord
"Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto The Lord." [Acts 11:23] There is an interesting aspect of magnets, where if you hold two of them against each other in one way, they cling tightly together; but, …
Glory Where Glory’s Due
"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: He is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass."

In Jesus’ greatest time of need, He earnestly sought His Father in prayer. As the things written of Him from long ago were culminating toward that great and dreadful conclusion, where He, The Christ, who did no sin neither was guile found in His mouth, would suffer and die, being reckoned among transgressors, for the …
