Genuine happiness is to be found in following the pathway of obedience. This is not the way the world sees it. In 21st-century Western culture, personal happiness and obedience to an authority are held to be mutually incompatible. But the Bible is clear: it is by obeying that we find ourselves “blessed.” So how do we take this path? The first step is simple: look intently into God’s word.

The temple was a shadow of the reality that was to come. It's not about Jerusalem in the Middle East. It is about the new Jerusalem. Jerusalem was simply a shadow, a pointer on the journey to the end. Today's program: https://t.co/mNx0lQxMJ2
