Part 13 - Matthew 10:16-23 - Wise As Serpents Or Just Spitting Venom? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 17, 2010

I have to admit I felt annoyed at what I thought was his ignorance and arrogance when he spoke about the Church we attend. I feel that way when any Bible based Church is denigrated or dismissed.

Why Christ Is Insulted And Mohammed Is Honoured

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 25, 2014

A religion without a saviour that has suffered cannot endure insults to win those who mock. A religion that cannot bear insults must bear the impossible load of upholding the honour of one who did not give his life for others.

America - The Spiritual Winds Of Change.

Contributed by John Martin on Jun 19, 2018
