Growing up in a Pentecostal background much emphasis was put on the need to be holy. I was told that God was holy – and I needed to be also. Well – Scripture does back that up. In the Old Testament God is called “Qedosh Y’Israel – Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah uses this term […]
I recently read a book recommended by one of my daughters, “Affluence with Abundance,” by James Suzman. The author did an intensive study of the vanishing world of the bushmen in southern Africa.
