    Do You Know Me? John 14 8Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Don’t you believe ...read more

He grew up in a Catholic home and was a bit familiar with the things I shared with him. He was a decent man and listened respectfully. ...read more
