hebrews-12:2

Is.30: 19-21 Let me read to you from Isaiah Chapter 30. I am going to read just three verses, and I am going to come back to these verses later. But Isaiah Chapter 30 and Verse 19 where it says, "O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he" (that's God) - "How gra... Read More

"I had fainted, unless I had believed." Psalm 27: 13 Clovis G. Chappell: HERE is a man who realizes that he has had a very close call. He has just succeeded in traversing a bit of rugged road that threatened to work his ruin. More than once had his knees gone weak. More than once had the whole world... Read More

What are its uses and applications, by the Spirit, in the Scriptures? The cross seems to me to be used in scripture as especially connected with shame and disgrace.

A primary problem facing scientists and engineers around the world during the "space race" of the late 1950s and early 1960s centered on getting the space-traveler back through the earth's atmosphere alive.
