Lovingkindness is a characteristic of God that we read about a lot in the Old Testament. But what exactly does it mean? According to biblestudytools.com, the original Hebrew word, translated as lovingkindness, means: “to bend or bow oneself” “to incline oneself” “to be gracious or merciful” This is who our God is. Think of the lovingkindness shown by Jesus during His walk on earth… How he bowed Himself down to wash the feet of His disciples. How He was inclined to heal the leper. How He showed gracious mercy by healing all who were sick or oppressed. (John 13:4-5, Mark 1:40-41 , Mat. 4:24) Whoever [is] wise will observe these [things], And they will understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. - Ps 107:43 NKJV Do not forget or believe otherwise.

In fact, the hillside was filled with angels! Elisha wa

You have probably had your fair share as well, so I am not even going to mention any of them floating around right now. I am just going to tell you why I have a problem with conspiracy theories. Apart from them being truly annoying and mostly ridiculous, they are also not biblical. What am I talking about? This part of Scripture: “The LORD has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. He said, "Don't call everything a conspiracy, like they do, and don't live in dread of what frightens them. Make the LORD of Heaven's Armies holy in your life. He is the one you should fear. He is the one who should make you tremble.”  Is. 8:11-13 NLT Think about it. What do conspiracy theories do? They provoke fear and uncertainty – a mentality of “there’s something worse they’r
