True repentance is moral and ethical to the core When people asked John the Baptizer what it meant he told them to share their goods with others, feed the hungry, be honest in business and be satisfied with your wages (Lk. 3:10ff). The key word is willingness. When a man or woman says, “I do” at

Whenever people expend themselves, they want results. If they lay down their life, they want someone’s life raised up. If they empty themselves, they want someone to be filled. They want their sufferings to bear fruit.
If this doesn’t happen, they’re tempted to give up. The refusal of the gift

CRUSHED FOR OUR INIQUITIES

But in fact, there have been many men of God who had professions, or who came out backgrounds that seemed unusual. There was a man from England, his name was John Bunyan and he worked most of his life as a tinker. That’s a person who makes utensils and stuff out of copper and tin. Well following
