What a Difference a Year Makes!
You’ve probably heard the saying, “What a difference a day makes!” People say that when their not-so-great circumstances one day have dissipated by the very next day.

What You May Not Know about This Romantic Love Song
Song of Solomon is one of the thirty-nine books of the Old Testament and was written in Jerusalem around 1000 BC by Solomon during the early years of his reign as king.

What You See Isn’t Always What You Get

What It Means to be the Bride of Christ
The bride of Christ is made up of every believer in Christ throughout the ages (John 3:29; 2 Cor. 11:2; Eph. 5:22–32; Rev. 19:7–9; 21:2, 9; 22:17). I believe He has called me, along with many others, to proclaim to the church her identity as His deeply cherished bride. He longs for His bride to […]
