If we are preoccupied with Him, we are preoccupied with heaven. That means, it really should matter much about what happens here. But, it should matter a whole lot to us about what happens there. Jesus is there. That’s our place.  Read More

He was  schooled, powerful, well-connected and on the rise as a future leader in his Jewish community. He had been taught that Jesus was a raving heretic leading his brethren off into error. Each executed Christian would have represented a victory over the heretics who ...  Read More
