The half that was seated started yelling at those standing to sit down, and the ones standing yelled at the ones sitting to stand up. The new rabbi didn't know ...read more

    God cannot be defeated but we lose when we allow other gods to win in our lives.

    We noted last week that no matter what happens in this world, God will always be God but He is always calling people back to Himself. God loves people and He disciplines those He loves!
