On a recent trip to Hungary we were given some very special, fresh spring water. It came from a spring called ‘Szentkirályi’ (translated: ‘Holy Kingly’).

Chapter 5: The Incarnation … What no one could imagine … Throughout the ages God revealed fragments of His mind. The Old Testament is a record of the many prophets, priest and scholars, scattered throughout many generations, who perceived portions of God’s purpose. The best scholars steeped themselves into detailed studies, trying to piece together…
There is nothing that has the ability to transform our lives as much as how we hear and what we behold. What we hear determines what we see and we become what we behold. Beholding truth makes us true. “That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, which we have seen with…
