I love Ruthie

A delectable retelling of the story of Ruth, as narrated by Alistair Begg reading from My Big Book of Bible Stories.


A working hypothesis on the geography of the Exodus

What can archaeology and geology tell us about the reliability of the Exodus narrative in the Bible? According to Egyptologist (and Christian) James Hoffmeier, quite a lot.

Were there non-Egyptians/slaves working on construction projects? Where is Goshen located? What is the likely route that the Israelites took out of Egypt? How was it that the Israelites went from being one pharaoh’s honoured guests to being another pharaoh’s slaves? Watch and find out all this and more (I’ve set it up to skip the lengthy introductions):


Love and lead

Resurrection day

But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. —1 Corinthians 15:20


Good Friday

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Lead me to the cross, where Your love poured out
Bring to me to my knees, Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to You
Lead me to the cross

To finish, we join the heavenly hosts in their praise.

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, and hath redeemed us to God by His blood, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Blessing and honour, glory and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever.
