Rom. V. 12 Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon (διἥλθεν 6 manuscripts εἴς ...) all men, for that all have sinned.

Ephesians 5:15, 16, 17 Look then carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Because there’s a good chance you’re feeling frustrated about something even now, I want us to look at a man who faced frustration in his own life to see how the Lord dealt with him. The situation is this: The disciples had just returned from a mission during which they had seen blind eyes opened, t... Read More
