Verbs With Teeth

Verbs have always intrigued me. Just like other writers, the Biblical authors often used them to amplify the force of their intentions.  And I’m convinced that one of the most profound examples of this is revealed in a… Read More

Feeding On the Flesh of Life

I’d sure like to know what it tasted like. Manna, that is. In the ancient Writings of the Old Testament, it’s recorded as being “…like coriander seed, white, and its taste was like wafers with honey.” [Exod. 16:31… Read More
