SPEAKING OF FAITH: The Promises of God Are Kept, “Yes and Amen”
We’ve found out that Abraham, when he first spoke to God, learned that not every time God speaks or answers us, will we always want to hear them or even be happy with His answers the first time we hear them.
COMMENTARY: Fueling the fire
There is a law on the books (the “books” being our Cherokee Code) that allows Tribal Council to shut off the cameras, streaming, and video feeds so that things can be said in the Chambers that are not seen nor heard by the “rest of the world” including our own tribal communities and tribal members who may be too far away or too busy to sit in Chambers to be provided explanation and information relevant to our people.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: About the God who provides for us all…
What a wonderful Promise today from the Lord Who declares, “He finished it before He ever started any of it.”
