Sinner’s Prayer

It has become popular today to trash the idea of “the sinner’s prayer.” Some very popular recent writers have reduced the idea of a sinner’s prayer to the level of superstition or magical incantation. In my ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (18 Of 21)

That is, in order to properly interpret scriptures we need to know: • What comes before the verse • What comes after the verse • Why it was written • To whom it was written These are ...read more
