Shavuot: The Feast Of Weeks (Pentecost)

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 1, 2024

The Jewish man argued, “We gave you the 10 Commandments.” The Christian responded, “Yes, but you can’t say we’ve kept them!” Many Christians are surprised to ...read more

An example might be to someone who is always late and you say to them: "Oh my, you're right on time!" Now if I told you that the Bible has several excellent examples ...read more
