“The heavens declare the glory of God” Psalm 19:1

One of the striking testimonies of who God is and how He does business with us has been on display since creation, yet it is often overlooked by heathen and Christian alike. The heavens declare the glory of God and who whole of creation is an exhibition [...]

The Economic Man

A man recently told me how he struggles to take the lead in his home because his wife out-earns him.

Our greatest authority comes from the highest official – and so coming under the direct authority [...]
