January 29, 2017 The Apostle John tells us at the end of his gospel that there were many other signs or miracles that Jesus performed which were not written in his book. In fact, he says in the last verse of his gospel there were many others things which Jesus did, which if they […]
MARK 10:32-45
January 22, 2017 Selective hearing. Most of the time, men are accused of the practice, as illustrated by this cartoon.
