There is a Chinese proverb: "Don't ask the fish about the water." Why? Because the fish is so immersed in the water, it cannot describe it. It has no point of reference for anything else. We are the s...
Elijah called down fire from heaven on a Tuesday. By Wednesday, he sat under a tree and asked God to let him die. That is not a story about weak faith. That is a story about a real prophet in a real b...
