WWJD

“In His Steps: What Would Jesus Do”, written by Charles Monroe Sheldon and first published in 1897 (ISBN 0-8007-8608-4) has had a profound affect on many Christians.

A Peculiar People

In Deuteronomy 14:2; Titus 2:14; and 1 Peter 2:9 God identifies His own people as a “peculiar people”, but what does this mean? In both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible they mean, “that which is one’s own, belonging to one’s possessions; a
