How Could Anything Exist Unless God Had Created And Sustained It?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 31, 2025

This takes us to the central Scripture of this Sunday, the beautiful and even humorous tale of Zaccheus, the renegade Jew. I call him “renegade” because only such a person would collect taxes for the despised Roman occupiers of the Jewish homeland.

An Unstoppable Glory Series

Contributed by Ian Johnson on Sep 7, 2005
