    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 21, 2023
     | 1,211 views

The healing we read occurs in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and what is really ...read more

    Luke 9 is a marvelous chapter. In this chapter we see at least two things.

    (1) WE SEE THE DISCIPLES CHOSEN. That is, these twelve men, in some ways, were the most blessed men who ever lived on earth. What an honor to be one of the twelve to follow the Lord from city to city and listen to Him teach and preach, and see Him perform miracle after miracle. These were some ...read more

The way we spend our time tells a great deal about us. Because time is important to us, most of us ...read more
