    It's Bible verses we have heard many times but, in this day of politically correctness... the true meaning and purpose sometimes gets lost

    When our work proceeds out of a devotion to Jesus, we will not be without our critics.

In Luke 10:39 she is sitting at the feet of Jesus. In John 11:32 Mary is prostrated at His feet. In John 12:3 she is ...read more

Many Christians who are unfamiliar with the Bible think the same thing. Both are wrong. And both of those misguided perspectives have caused problems ...read more
