In a similar way, the writer of Hebrews identifies offerings as an important way of attributing honor and worship (or anything else for that matter) to God. The same holds true for us today. We are called to worship...

Just sharing a poem about all that written by Joseph Auslander: "The clouds were all brushed up and back The wrong way by the wind; The trees were attitudes on...
