The Passover and Sodom and Gomorrha
How does the story of Sodom and Gomorrha relate to Passover?
The Gospel in John Chapter 2
Sin results in a corruption that runs deep into the fabric of humanity. Through this corruption and denial of God we are faced with death. Our overt rebellion toward God causes a corruption that drives us away from life and toward death.
What is Love
what can Song of Songs (SOS) teach us about love and, ultimately, how does it point to Christ?
Thank You for the Rain
This means that praying for a miracle could take away from God’s plan of demonstrating his goodness to us. This is not to say God couldn’t work in another way but as CS Lewis says in the problem of pain “Pain insists upon being attended to.

Our hope needs to come from a place that is not material and temporary.
