Abraham Offers Isaac

Abraham was enjoying his life. There had been peace for a while, and he was probably hoping to live out the rest of his days in peace, but then God called him to a hard test. Go sacrifice your only son. Abraham’s faith was being tested. His love was being tested. Who does he love... Read More
