Song of Solomon: Poem of Faithful Love
The Song of Solomon is an intimate, tender, romantic expression of physical love between a man and a woman—first, prior to their marriage…then, after the wedding. If anything other than this is to be safely seen here, it’s an analogy related to Christ and His devoted love for His bride, the church.

As we shall see, they remain to this day a marvellous source of insightful and penetrating information.

Learning from "the Least of These"
The first time I met him I thought he was dead. Lying halfway in a merge lane with his legs twisted awkwardly beneath was Barry—stinky, toothless, and quite possibly dead, Barry.
The Focal Point Is Constant
