This made the Pharisaical teachers of religious law complain that Jesus was associating with such despicable people – even eating with them.” Luke 15:1-2 The Pharisees and ...read more

    Have you ever lost anything or been lost. It can be scary. When we find something we lost, we are ecstatic. Could we get a little excited when God finds someone?

    Sheep wander off and get lost because they’re stupid. We know better and still do it anyway, so I’m not sure just how smart that makes us.
