Better late than never when it comes to doing the will of the Father
The little set of verses in Matthew 21:28-32 reminds me of how patient God is with those who truly seek Him. Even those who make big mistakes will be accepted into the kingdom if they choose to repent and do the will of the Father. In my growing up years I knew a few people […]

Luke 5 – Old wine and new wine – is the old better?
I saw a post on Facebook about the feasts of the Old Testament and how much we can learn from them. One commenter asked whether Christians are supposed to be celebrating these feasts.
