FAITH AND ITS FOOTSTEPS HEBREWS 11 It is impossible to deny that there is some principle livingly working in the world which has signally called out the hatred and opposition of man.

The people of God were always morally, and must necessarily b... Read More

One of the most well-known chapters in the entire Bible, Hebrews 11 is known as God’s Hall of Faith. I find this Hall of Faith amazing — as much for who’s not in it as who is. I mean, think who’s missing: Elijah and Elisha, Jehoshaphat and Jeremiah. I would have thought they would have been shoo-ins... Read More
