John 12:1-8 (The Erotic & The Domestic)

Contributed by David Smith on Oct 30, 2007

It doesn’t take long at this dinner party before the chaos breaks out, this time through the surprising appearance of Mary, pouring a ludicrously expensive jar of perfume.

Jesus speaks of being born ’from above’ and ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (12 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

But, as big a contrast as that might be, there is a greater difference he would ...read more
