Listen To Your Wife

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

By listening to his wife he could have become a noble hero. There could have been St. Pilate churches all through history, and Pilate could have become a popular Christian name. But Pilate blew it because he would not listen to his wife.

Is there a man alive whose wife has never said, "You should have listened to me?" The pages of history are red with the blood of men who should have listened to their wives. Calpurnia pleaded with Caesar on that fatal Ides of March not to leave the house. She had a restless night, and ...read more

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

The Nicene Creed says, in reference to the Spirit, “We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son." The early church recognized the truth that the Holy Spirit is One who gives life.
