    @carol_mcclain   Odd to many, I love the genealogies of the Bible. In them, we find a rich history.

You’re not a name in a list of names, just another …[ read more ]

    By Carol McClain I don’t know about you, but somewhere during the many years I’ve been a Christian, I’ve taught myself God is a piggy bank that gives interest. Insert prayer. Wait a day or two, and pop out more than I put in.     Then things don’t go according to plan. I don’t …[ read more ]

    For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin. For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, …[ read more ]

    • Your Past Can Be Forgiven: Rahab

      @carol_mcclain Is your past unforgiveable? Definitely not. Consider Rahab, one of the ancestors of Jesus, mentioned in Matthew 1:5. She was a prostitute. No one chooses this lifestyle. In ancient Israel, women found few avenues of employment. If unmarried or widowed, they very often had to turn to prostitution in order to survive. Who wants to have non-stop sex with strangers?
