By Jill Roberts and Michael Canalé God’s timing is always so interesting. Last week, Michael brought up the fact that, thus far, we have only written about the men who were the disciples and apostles of Jesus and wasn’t it time to spotlight the women who followed him.

By Jill Roberts and Michael Canalé Recently, Michael and I were talking about some of our previous blogs which chronicle God’s second chances for people like Jonah, David and Peter. We agreed that, Biblically speaking, these stories are well known and, for blog writers like ourselves, low-hanging fruit because of this familiarity. Michael asked,

By Jill Roberts and Michael Canalé Michael and I are continuing our discussions about the Holy Spirit. This week, we are concentrating on one critical aspect of the Spirit’s powerful ministry in our lives – that of His role in guiding us away from the LETTER OF THE LAW and into its antithesis, the
