Les Misérables: Law, Grace and Redemption
from L. Michael Morales Dec 26, 2012 Category: Articles
Victor Hugo’s monumental novel Les Misérables, first published in 1862, has been compared to a gothic cathedral — and justly so.

from L. Michael Morales Oct 27, 2010 Category: Articles
Worship — approaching the living God — is the central concern of Scripture, and a vital aspect of its narrative drama. Who may climb the summit of the LORD’s dwelling place to gaze upon his beauty?

Who can climb their way to the summit of his dwelling place and gaze upon his beauty? Who, what’s more, could ever abide with God in his house? Keep Reading
