Joy Giving Becomes Joy Receiving
Verse of the Week “…remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35 I believe the best definition of “grace” (charis in the Greek) is joy-giving.

Will Not the Judge of All the Earth Do Right?
Greetings from the Dominican Republic! Our verse for the week comes from Genesis 18:25. Abraham is praying to God about Sodom, and asks Him, “Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” (Genesis 18:25, NIV) I love that verse, not just as a question, but as a statement. No matter how things go…
