Persistent Prayers

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

Jesus often taught in parables. Among his many listeners, some folks understood their meaning and some folks didn't. And that is still true today, because we all tend to hear what we want to hear.

This is made clear in the first verse of this parable, look at Luke 18:1, we read, “And he spake a ...read more

You probably know that what we learn after we are out of school is much more than what we learned in the classrooms while we were in school.
