Still others say that one of the prophets from long ago has come back." [20] He then asked, ...read more

    Favour or Grace, You can’t separate the Two (Luke 2:39-52) I’ve often heard, he or she has found favour in the sight of God. For quite some time that phrase puzzled me. It puzzled me so much to the extent that I sought to found scriptural backing for such a statement. While searching ...read more
