We are given instruction to live lives holy before the Lord. Under the Old Testament covenant, there were strict regulations that the Israelites obeyed – items of clothing to be worn by the priests, steps to offer various sacrifices, penalties for wrongdoing. I read these laws and cannot remember them all! Yet, the way the … More 1 Peter P2 – Mirror of Holiness
Here we are – just two weeks into working life, internship at the hospital. I wondered how it would be starting work – what different time commitments I might have, how busy I might be, what attitudes I could encounter, and how I might serve the Lord through actually doing medicine.

Some people are very direct; I’m currently on a psychiatric … More To Live or Die?
