     | 3,450 views

    John, and we, need to be prophets to our cultures.

    Martyrdom of John the Baptist August 29, 2011 Testimony of the Saints Popular culture almost always gets everything wrong.

    based on 20 ratings

    In our pride, we hesitate to take a donkey as a role model, but the donkey of Palm Sabbath has something to show us. That donkey was literally Christopher--"Christ-bearer."

(Psalm 19:14) In our pluralistic society today, we often hear people say that what someone believes in isn’t as ...read more
