The Teacher´s Word for Today
When Jesus tells us that we will always have the poor with us but don´t always have Him, what does it make us think? If it doesn´t make us think, then the weight that the Scripture holds in instructing us is lost. If we brush it off as words to others, it is lost. If... Continue Reading →
