Way-Bible THE WAY | THE LEADER’S DAILY WALK Background: After Elijah’s dramatic victory over the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, he expected revival to sweep through Israel. Instead, Queen Jezebel threatened his life, and fear drove him into the wilderness. Exhausted and disillusioned, Elijah hid in a cave on Mount Horeb — until God reminded him that His voice is not always heard in thunder or fire, but in the still, small whisper of His presence. 1 Kings 19:12 “After the fire came a gentle whisper.” Thought for the Day God’s greatest leadership lessons are often heard in stillness,…
🕊️ THE WAY BIBLE SERIES A Theological Anthropology Reflection | The Way Bible Blog Opening Scene: Humanity in the Mirror of Heaven Imagine a sweeping cinematic sequence — creation’s first dawn.

It reveals humanity’s worth as reflections of God’s nature—rational, moral, creative, and spiritual. Though the image was marred by sin, it was not erased; redemption through Christ restores it (Colossians 3:10). Millard Erickson (2013) notes that this truth grants dignity and moral accountability to humankind, for we bear the imprint of God’s moral and spiritual likeness. Though fallen, humanity retains the echo of divine design.…
THE WAY: TEEN TALKS Nelson’s story is more than one boy’s struggle with teasing on the basketball court — it’s a reflection of what many students across The Bahamas face every day.
