“Going out with a high hand…” The 14th chapter of Exodus shows us that God still has everything under control, even when it looks like the devil has got us “boxed up in a corner.” The children of Israel are leaving Egypt, and God tells Moses to “send them towards the Red Sea;” a place...

"The Open Wound..." We have been living and working here in Haiti for many years. Believe me, I have seen wounds and sores on the poor mountain people that were so bad, it was a wonder that they were still alive! In Isaiah, the Prophet Isaiah makes his voice known... "From the sole of the...
