I don’t know about you but last week’s article by Tania spoke to me. The words from Luke 1:37 that she has read hundreds of times before ‘jumped out and hit me in the face’: ‘FOR NO WORD FROM GOD WILL EVER FAIL’ (emphasis hers). These were the words spoken by the...

Have you been in a relationship with Jesus for a long time? If you are like me and your answer is yes, do you sometimes feel like you’ve read the same Bible words over and over again? It’s like a ‘been there, heard that, read that, seen that, felt that’ kind of...
