I read of two sculptors decorating a new post office in a suburb of Cologne, West Germany. Two giant hands, each two meters long, seem to be grasping for each other but in vain. One hand, the higher hand, juts right out of the side of the building toward the second hand rising from the [...]

The Bible is full of stories of people who trusted God and the POWER of GOD was great upon them. I think of Joshua whose dramatic defeat of Jericho stunned godless people into developing a healthy respect for God’s power.
