I had an early morning flight and then flew most of the day. By the time I got home, I was exhausted. Yet I didn’t ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,537 views

    The historical development of the church of God would be one of humble beginnings. However, this parable contains more than this important truth. Hidden within it is a warning about the perversion of the church's method of growth and of satanic attacks up

The storm was so severe that the preacher couldn’t make it in that night, so a layman stood up to throw something together ...read more

Our Lord arrested them with this story and shocked them somewhat. When he told them that there was a woman who hid leaven in three measures of meal they must ...read more
