That’s the case for the returned exiles in Ezra chapter three, and I believe also the case for all facets of society as we…

Read MoreAccess to God is paramount
It is such a privilege for us – who were once enemies of Christ in our sinful state – to now have access to the God of all creation. That wonderful opportunity came with such a huge price tag. It required the shed blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. For us, access…
