We know that God’s judgment on those who do such things is in accordance with truth. Do you imagine, whoever you are, that when you judgeContinue reading “No excuse.”

Be made clean!” Immediately his skinContinue reading “Faith”

What did he say?
Then he called the crowd to him and said to them, “Listen and understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles.” Then the disciples approached and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard whatContinue reading “What did he say?”
