The Parable of the Persistent Widow, Luke 18:1-8And He spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me […]
Remember when you were a little kid? That thought brings either a flood of good memories or a flood of bad or everything in between. If you think about your early years, you have some memories that stand out. They seem almost like another person, like another lifetime, so long ago. This realization can remind
Being pliable in the hands of Jesus. That sounds easy enough. Making the choice to follow Him. And, then, actually letting Him take the helm, maybe not so easy at times. Jesus has been doing this for a long time, with many people. He is very tenderhearted toward us, that does not mean He is
