9-1-1. What is your emergency?
“This is 9-1-1. What is your emergency?” I don’t often reflect publicly on the fifteen years I served as a 9-1-1 Operator and Police Dispatcher for the city of Nashville. This was my first career-type job as a somewhat sheltered eighteen-year-old girl, and I was quickly stationed on the midnight shift where all the action took place. Each night at 10:00 p.m., I proudly donned my navy blue civilian uniform and entered through security gates, metal detectors, and controlled access doors into a windowless room with nothing but computer screens in every direction. We served as the hub of activity…

How Can God Be Jealous?
by Ava Pennington In the process of writing Reflections on the Names of God, I enjoyed exploring so many familiar names and attributes of our awesome God. But as I continued to dig deeper into His names and attributes, I came across several that were difficult to understand. For example, Exodus 34:14 tells us one of God’s names is Jealous because He is a jealous God. Saying God is jealous sounds strange, doesn’t it? Jealousy is a powerful emotion. It can devastate relationships and destroy lives. So why would the eternal, sovereign, almighty God name Himself jealous? When God says He is a jealous…
A Chat with Author Sandra Glahn
Hello Readers. Davalynn Spencer here visiting with author Sandra Glahn about life as a Bible-study writer. Sandra, please give us a brief overview of your recent release. Latte with Luke (AMG), number twelve in the Coffee Cup Bible Study series, considers the humanity of Jesus. Luke, more than the other Gospel writers, presents Jesus as caring about the outsider. In Latte with Luke, readers see Jesus’s focus and consider their own response to people on the margins. What inspired you to write this book? I love writing Bible studies that include history and archeology to help readers understand the contexts…
