was leading a group of about 30 workcampers into Haiti. But I had failed to meet all my self-imposed spiritual criteria, and I felt the enemy crashing in on me.

“Then the Lord shut him in.” (Genesis 7:16, NIV84) t was God who shut the door of the Ark, not Noah. God shut him in.  Noah didn’t ask for the assignment to build the Ark, nor did he know how long he would be in there, which, by the way, ended up being 415 days.  Noah, his wife and his…

Scripture
Israel Brook

I am the Lord that Heals…  Exodus 15:22-27 If I were to ask you where it is in the Bible that God first reveals Himself as the God Who heals us, what would you say?  If you’re like most people (including myself), you might be looking for a place in the Scripture where God makes a lame man walk, heals…
