Light warms and so therefore a kind word warms a person's heart. As I focused on the later part of the verse last week, today I ...read more

Many of these ordinances are not based on biblical Scripture but on the theological beliefs developed over the centuries. For example, in the Catholic Church, a priest ...read more

In other words, “God, I’m not really sure what your will is in this situation, but I’m going to pray and if my prayer is not ...read more
