I have so much more to tell you, but it is too much for you to accept now. (John 16:12; Easy to Read Version) God was faced with a problem. He needed a nation on the earth that He could work through in order to send forth the Messiah and bring about man's redemption. However, His chosen people, Israel, were strongly influenced by pagan thinking. Attempting to abruptly change their mindset to one of a high godly ideal was impossible. God had to work with the people at the level where they were at and progressively lead them to a "more excellent way" (1 Cor. 12:31). In the meantime, God had ...

One of the most pivotal waterborne engagements in history would not be fought ship-to-ship in the traditional fashion of naval warfare, a brutal duel between massive battleships. This titanic contest would be decided without either commander sighting the other, for victory would ultimately be claimed in the skies, aircraft to aircraft. Its outcome directly determined the future of the individual sailor and aviator, but it also indirectly decided the fates of their homelands, as well. For the combatants, Midway was not merely an isolated battle in the larger conflict, rather it would decide ...
