 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side…” (Psalm 124:1a KJV) This past Saturday I joined our women’s group, Collage, as they visited the home of our oldest member, a woman who was born in 1920 and is the oldest living alumni of her famous high school, Crispus Attucks.

 “A little leaven leavens the whole batch .” (Galatians 5:9 The Amplified Bible) A member of our Thursday Bible Study provided some wisdom as we talked about the influence of the wicked and the decline of the faithful.

“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you and to give you assurance of these things for the churches. I am the Root (the Source, the Life) and the Offspring of David, the radiant and bright Morning Star.” (Revelation 22:16 The Amplified Bible) I was intrigued by an expert’s explanation of patterns that you see in motion pictures.

AN ACQUIRED TASTE

ByDr. Mark April 14, 2024 0 Comments
 “How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” (Psalm 119:103) There are certain foods that are not appealing to us on an individual basis, all because we don’t view them as something we would enjoy. To be more open to these foods, it takes time, sometimes boldness, and it involved overcoming our normal aversion to such foods. Raw fish, oysters, the new...
