Lacking these standards, we would be left with uncertainty about whether that 2X4 is a 2X4, is 8 feet ...read more

So, You Think You're Not A Pharisee?

Contributed by Dan Funk on Aug 28, 2014

Over the years, we have all heard preachers address the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican praying in the Temple. “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast ...read more
