     | 4,520 views

    What is God’s Family and how do you join it? Jesus redefines family, contrasts it with our earthly family and tells us how to join and what it’s like in his family.

    The idea of family is always morphing in our society. Just in the past fifty years we’ve gone from June Cleaver to Uma Thurman. In the 1950’s the woman wore pearls and waited in high heels for her man to come home so she could greet him with a martini, a paper and dinner on the table. Today in ...read more

    Luke tells us more about the women in Jesus’ life than any other gospel. Jesus on his way to deliver one daughter is detained by another one. Study the details... Discover your duty.

We’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. Second, ...read more
