    How an encounter with Christ as Lord should have changed the disciples, but didn’t.

    Sometimes we tend to forget that Jesus came to Jewish people and as a member of Jewish society.

God is distant - if you see Him you die and he lives far away in heaven where we can never touch Him. God ...read more
