    Celebrating June as Humility Month, and the Fast of the Holy Apostles

    A story with a story, than a talk on Scripture! ~~~~~ I just got done flipping through a biker magazine. The jokes were crude, the pictures of women are rather revealing, half the ads are for bars & strip clubs, and so on. But to really follow Jesus, should I have simply set down the...

    Are True Apostles Still in Existence Today

    "If" some of the "spiritual gifts" have not ceased, even with the completion of the New Testament, and without speaking of the specific gift of "speaking in tongues" how should we receive the teaching that apostles are still in existence today as well? My understanding is that an apostle in...
