He is not searching and knowing you presently, He has already searched and known everything about you. God knows your actions (“thou knowest my downsitting and mine ...read more

Benefits Of Meditation

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 17, 2018

However, an older, recently outdated, response from the congregation used to be, “And also with you". So there was a Catholic priest who always ...read more
