Anticipation
In these last days of the year, many people are anxious with anticipation. They cannot wait for…
HEIRS
We have recently studied about the Prodigal Son and how he demanded his inheritance from his living father. What a grave insult this must have been! He was saying in fact, “Father, I only care about your money and I don’t have time to wait for you to die, so give it to me…
