Today’s Daily Habits

You wake up… what’s the first thing you do?  What happens next?  For most of us, our morning routines are so rhythmic we don’t even think about them.  However, when it comes to our faith, we could all probably use a little work on establishing these same type of rhythms.  As we look at Daniel […]

Though You Knew All This…

History is doomed to repeat itself… or so they say.  Yet as we turn our attention to Daniel 5 today it would seem as if this cliché is true.  Another king, another failure to honor God as sovereign over all nations.  The difference this time around is history.  They knew their history and did nothing […]
