The Calvary Job
The Calvary Job It is with joy today that I can reflect on the Calvary job. Today is Good Friday and I look back and ask myself why my saviour had to go all the way to Calvary? Did it really have to be a mountain job? Why not anywhere else? How big were my Read more…
Armour Of God: Breastplate Of Righteousness
The Breastplate Of Righteousness is an important element of our spiritual armour. In fact, King Ahab, an unrighteous king of Israel, killed in battle by taking an arrow to the breastplate (between the scale armour – 1 Kings 22:34).
