Why I Love the Book of Deuteronomy
“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Deuteronomy 34:27a (NIV) I must confess that Deuteronomy is one of my favorite Old Testament books.

Be Jesus

Increase My Faith
Luke 17:5 NIV “The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’” I have been reading through the book of Luke and came across this curious verse.
