Summoning the crowd again, He told them, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand: Nothing that goes into a person from outside can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him. If anyone has ears to hear, he should listen!” When He went into the house away from the crowd, the disciples […]
The more we give Jesus control of our lives, the more some of our friends and family members will accuse us of something between fanaticism and insanity. But the natural man does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to know it since it is evaluated spiritually. The spiritual person, […]
