  • Where is God Right Now?

    This evening, I was reflecting on the prophetic books of the Bible. A majority of them where written in the time of the Kings. Israel was never supposed to have a king, but the people wanted one to be like the other nations. Despite the warnings against it, they got their king. The first one,…
