He said that it is out of the mouth of two or three witnesses that ...read more

    The miracle of feeding the 5,000 underlines God’s grace as he provides for all our needs.

So, we are called to prioritize – to convert our activities into a sort of Top 10 list -- picking ...read more

Some are probably thinking “Nadab & Abi-who?” The Hebrews had just been led out of Egypt. They had followed ...read more
