One particularly remarkable example is found in Acts 8:26–40, which recounts the conversion of an Ethiopian eunuch, a high-ranking African official whose encounter with Philip the evangelist transformed his life.
A fresh start is needed; habits become novel approaches; the familiar is looked at with a fresh perspective, as if we were not only seeing G-d’s creation, but also ourselves, for the very first time.

Father’s Day means different things to different people. For some, it's a day to celebrate. For others, it's a quiet ache or a painful reminder.

Scripture repeatedly shows that God works through representatives, and the spiritual consequences of their actions often extend far beyond their individual lives.
