Hypocrisy And Darkness

Contributed by Dennis King on Nov 17, 2021

This epistle delves into chapter six of Matthew. There he provides a first-hand report of Jesus speaking and His words cast Christian reflections against the dark shadows of hypocrisy.

As recorded by Luke in chapter 12, Jesus began to speak to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

What Is Truth?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “truth” is defined as, “the body of real things, events, and facts.” It is also defined as “a transcendent fundamental or spiritual ...read more
