    Undoubtedly many have heard this passage of Scripture before. Hopefully, many have read this story of where Jesus feeds the multitude, the five thousand.

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 10, 2022
     | 3,848 views

Illus: This reminds me of Karin Wotten of Ocala, Florida who tells about the opening exercises of their Vacation Bible School, when they asked for volunteers to pray. One morning, a first ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,783 views

    In James 2, we see one of the most challenging passages of Scripture. However, when seen in context, James' point becomes clear and understood.

    The English language can be a very challenging language to learn. Part of that is because many ordinary words that we use in everyday conversation can have many different meanings. Take the word “run,” for example, which according to dictionary.com, has over 179 different meanings for the word. ...read more

    Our solemnity today is that of Christ the King. When we claim that Christ is the King of the Universe, we support that claim with a passage that seems to be quite crazy.

Her platform was not well-defined, but one thing was clear from every word out of her mouth. She had no ...read more
