    The preaching of the Word of God does not go out or return void, despite what we might witness or think. The Sacred Word continues to convict the heart and give new life to all who are dead in iniquity.

    Fellow under-shepherd, I've been there. I know the frustration you feel when it seems that you preached your heart out this past Sunday. You fed your flock the food of the Word and gave the message God placed upon you. I know what it means to study for long hours, to pray, to compose the ...read more

We’ll get more into the confusion in a moment, but the disciples echo the prevailing theology of the time and presume that someone must have sinned for him to be blind. - vv. 1-2. - It was a theology ...read more

Water was not a convenience you got from a tap; water was life itself. A family’s wealth, their survival, depended on access to a well, a stream, or a ...read more
