She name the child Ichabod May 11, 2010
Posted by Han in : Life's Challenge , comments closedIchabod? What kind of name is this? In 1 Samuel 4:21 the daughter-in-law of Prophet Eli named her child Ichabod. Ichabod means “inglorious” or “the glory of God has departed from Israel”. What a name! I believe no parents would want to name their child Ichabod. Many want to give their child a good name. But as for the daughter-in-law of Prophet Eli it must be done rather unwillingly and sadly. What causes her to give such a name - inglorious? Normally in the Old Testament, a name depicts something, an event or certain happening. (more…)
Are you lost? April 23, 2010

The interesting question is where are they supposed to go? Which direction are they taking in order to get to the Promised Land? (more…)

And every time they worry about something, it never gets smaller but instead it blows the problem out of proportion. Indeed, it is very self defeating and a waste of time! (more…)
