    Taking principles from the prodigal son and comparing them to our nation, we can see that our nation’s culture has been taken for granted.

    Let Us Not Forget Luke 15:11-24 * The story of the “Prodigal Son” has reached legendary status. Almost every person (believer or unbeliever) can give a general storyline. Let’s see if we can simplify it. A man had two sons. The older one was a hard working boy who understood and accepted ...read more

    Was Jesus cleansing the temple a random act or was there something far deeper?
