We learned so much fascinating information about the Balm of Gilead in class this week like what the Hebrew words meant and explored other references and meanings. The following is direct from our teacher, Dale Schneitman: “The Great Physician (the Balm of Gilead) was pierced like the tender root of the balsam plant •In the same way that the leaves of the plant were thrust through to extract the resin, Jesus was broken that we might benefit from His wounds We received new life through the one ...

Monday thoughts about Sunday
Sunday has become one of my favorite days with the Salesman; but it hasn't always been. I share this today in the spirit of "encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

I am so thankful the Lord will not be angry forever: “Go and proclaim these words toward the north and say, ‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the LORD; ‘I will not look at you in anger. For I am gracious,’ declares the LORD; ‘I will not be ... Read More about Jeremiah 3:12
