Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 14, 2020

The phrase, "For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever. Amen" is only found in about half of Bible translations. Why is that? Are some people take it out or did someone add it in? And, what does that have to do with Mother's Day???

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Jul 15, 2019

Why did Jesus say that Mary chose the better part.

Martha, Martha, Martha! Luke 10:38-42 In the middle of Luke’s gospel is this short passage.

Work Of Thy Hands

Contributed by Paul Richard on Jun 30, 2020

Work exists before man. The creation of man and other things were the handiwork of God and they were good. What a pity! Today’s man has a wrong perception about work for the sake of instant reward, personal gain or interest.

When something is created, done or made, work is said to have taken place (Genesis 1:11, Genesis 1:21, Genesis 1:25-27).
