“The Father That Sent Me Beareth Witness of Me”

“The Father That Sent Me Beareth Witness of Me”

One of the verses in this week's Come Follow Me passages that really stuck out to me was John 8:18.   The Pharisees complained that the record Jesus bore was not true and that He shouldn't be bearing record of Himself. Jesus declares that His testimony is, in...

Fruits, Not Roots

Fruits, Not Roots

Knit (Or Crochet!) Together in Love

Liberty Keepers
