Micey has written a lovely testimony concerning this ‘miracle’ at her blog today: Blessed! The Miracle of Just Enough [...]

This is lovely…a wonderful commentary by Jon Bloom at Desiring God blog:
****
Luke says it so quickly, so matter-of-factly: “[Herod] killed James the brother of John with the sword” (Acts 12:2). In the flow of the story this little phrase sets the stage for Peter’s dramatic prison rescue by the angel. So that’s what we remember. [...]

Beautiful encouraging message from Anton Bosch:
Sometimes it seems that no one cares about your pain.
David said: “no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life” (Psalm 142:4 NIV). Do you sometimes feel like that? Do you sometimes cry out with Solomon that even the kindest acts of [...]
