Understanding God: Is It Really Possible?

Meant to Live By God’s Voice

Moses said, “Man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.”  Deuteronomy 8:3, NASB When Moses spoke these words, he was teaching the people about manna — the commanded bread that fell from …

Tabernacles: The Great Feast and the Shelter of Faith
