When these storms strike, the first buildings that are destroyed are those that were built by contractors who were bad builders. ...read more

    Introduction: There is an old saying that we sometime quote as true, but we need to be careful quoting it, because it only contains part of the truth.

    The quote is, "You can always tell a man by the company he keeps." Can you? Always? No, this is not always the truth. For example, Jesus kept company with many that society had rejected. (1) HE KEPT COMPANY WITH LEPERS Now in first-century Palestine, lepers were viewed with horror ...read more
