What Can We Learn From How Jesus Treated Judas At The Last Supper?
“Be a peace maker and not a mean maker,” says Kaira, 10. Words that come too quickly out of our mouths are the main way most people become “mean makers.” “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit,” (Proverbs 18:21). The words we speak […]

What Does The Bible Mean When It Says Jesus Was Full Of Grace And Truth?
