Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on Finding Freedom Through Atonement
Yom Kippur is the highest holy day of the year on God’s calendar. But what makes this day so special? Isn’t every day sacred? Since the Son has come, isn’t every day holy in Him?

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on The Fourth Night Of Hanukkah: The Light of Moses
From the light of creation to Noah, to Abraham, we now come to Moses. In the story of Moses, we have all the previous stories put together. In the story of creation we have the separation of light and darkness. In Moses, we have him being separated...
