Christians are to be fishermen of men; witnessing and winning souls in the waters of the world in which they live.

Since we have ESV pew Bibles – which leave off the last verse – I felt that would create confusion as to why that verse was missing. I didn’t want to go there, so I put the KJV on screen and ...read more
