“This hope we have as an anchor of the soul —a safe and steadfast hope that enters within the veil .” (Hebrews 6:19 The Amplified Bible) I read an article in Boat World, as you would guess targeted at present boat owners and future boat owner. The focus was on anchor selection. Read on because even if you have no boat, you have a soul. Let me share three things with you, two from the...

The main street of the City was pure gold, translucent as glass. But there was no sign of a Temple, for the Lord God—the Sovereign-Strong—and the Lamb are the Temple. The City doesn’t need sun or moon for light. God’s Glory is its light, the Lamb its lamp! The nations will walk in its light and earth’s kings bring in their splendor. Its gates will never be shut by day, and there...
