    Brood Of Vipers

    John said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, ’We have Abraham as our ancestor’; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up ...read more

    Even in this day and age, the voice of hope has not been silenced. The cry still comes to each one of us in the wilderness of our lives, to repent and reconcile with the one who is holding the door to the Kingdom.
