Penned by an ancient poet, this lamentation speaks to the universal struggle of the human soul, seeking solace and hope in times of desolation. Let us embark on a […]
The Bible
The end and the intent of Scripture is to declare that God is benevolent and friendly minded to mankind; and that he hath declared that kindness in and through Jesus Christ, his only Son; the which kindness is received by faith. George Wishart God created the great sea creatures and every living and moving thing […]
About Genesis
Many people think that Moses wrote Genesis. If he did, other people probably helped him. And if he did, he may have used some of the words of previous writers. The people who wrote Genesis wrote it in the ancient *Hebrew language. This language is like the modern *Hebrew language, which people speak in the […]
Minor Prophets
The Minor Prophets are like a collection of short stories found in the Bible. Each story is written by a different person called a prophet, who was like a messenger from God.

Barbie
Yesterday afternoon with a vaguely pink shirt I went to a cinema in St Austell. If you like action films this isn’t it! If you like romantic/chick flicks etc then don’t go here. You won’t see vampires, werewolves or zombies. No murders in sight and thankfully no moody wind swept landscapes. Just beautiful tropical sun. […]
Numbers
