Lighting up the Path
The Epistle 1 John, we are reading these days is very prolific in saying sin identifies one who does not belong to God. So what is Sin? That which took us away, and keeps us away from God. Today reading of One John Identifies God as Being All Right (Correct), and Righteous. So His children […]

Joy and Exultation, in the Presence of God
There are two optional readings that we can read for the First Reading, today. One is from the Songs of Songs and the other from Zephaniah.
