how to pronounce peniel in the bible

  how to pronounce peniel in the bible? Peniel (pronounced Pen-yel) is a Hebrew word meaning “face” or “forehead”. In the Bible, it refers to the place where God was pleased to manifest his glory before man. It is often translated as “the face of Yahweh”.  The name Peniel means “Face of God”. It is mentioned only once in the Old Testament, in Numbers 13:17. It occurs twice in the New Testament, in Matthew 17:11 and Luke 22:43.  In the Book of Isaiah, the prophet speaks of the glory of God being revealed at the face of the Lord. He says: “I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood seraphim: each had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And they called unto me, and I heard them not” (Isaiah 6:1-3).  This verse is interpreted to mean that the seraphim were ministering angels who surrounded the throne of God.

Liberalism Comes in Right-Wing and Left-Wing Varieties. Christians Should Reject Both.

Governments can’t be indifferent to the moral and spiritual health of the governed. “L iberalism” is a word with many meanings, some compatible with Christianity, some arguably demanded by it. In its original sense, to be liberal is to exemplify the virtue of liberality, as in broadmindedness or generosity of spirit. More typically, in the United States, liberalism refers to left-wing political views, though “classical” liberalism references a relatively gentle variant of libertarianism. In his new book, Liberalism and its Discontents , however, eminent political scientist Francis Fukuyama sets out to defend liberalism in what may be its deepest sense: the focus on freedom as the highest political good that unites the mainstream American left and right. Both major political parties, and most American Christians, have embraced this liberal perspective. Republicans tend to seek so-called “negative liberty,” ensuring that the state leaves individuals alone, while Democrats tend to see...

Christian Aid Agencies Have a New Approach to Famine

Relief has changed in time for Africa’s worst food shortage in 80 years. Agya Afari in Dodowa, Ghana, turns the corn and cassava dough in a pan perched on a coal pot as his middle child fans the coals. Nearby, his wife, Yaa Manu, grinds pepper, tomato, and onion to make a sauce for supper. The only form of protein, two boiled eggs, is traditionally reserved for the adults in the household. “This has become a way of life for us lately— banku and boiled eggs with ground pepper,” Afari laments in Twi. “Limited work in this current economy, increasing prices, and a pest invasion on our farm means my family and I have been struggling to make ends meet. One daily meal that satisfies everyone is impossible,” he adds. This may seem like a timeless story of food insecurity. But Afari’s family is affected by the most widespread global hunger crisis on record . In the past couple of years, the need for food aid has more than doubled, with the World Food Program estimating that today 345 mil...
