Enemies: Don't Deny It, You Do Have Them

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Sep 2, 2023

The Limitless Love Of God

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jun 7, 2022

Yet those who first heard what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount had no idea what Jesus was about to say. They understood the moralism of their day, ...read more
