WORDS about the WORD

“ So the LORD made a covenant with Abram that day and said, “I have given this land to your descendants, all the way from the border of Egypt to the great Euphrates River.” -Genesis 15:18-19 (NLT) Recent events have laid heavy on my heart, mind, and soul (perhaps yours as well): The evil that has unfolded in the nation of Israel. The barbarity and willful slaughter, rape, and butchery of babies, children, women, men, the young and the old. It is sickening, appalling and demonic. How canwepossiblycomprehend this madness? This wickedness?
