Another title would have been more appropriate however. Maybe something like ‘Simon, the proud Pharisee.’ For the deepest ...read more

    What’s the fuss about? If it’s just a novel that Hollywood turned into a movie, nobody’s going to Hell over it -- are they? ARE THEY?

    Most of the time on Sunday mornings I “teach” through a sermon. Today I will preach this sermon. Teaching is an indirect way to your heart through your head.
