As we have looked at Paul’s letters, we see where he wrote to different churches in different areas. The most broad letters would probably be to Galatia and Rome. But there are other letters in the New Testament where they are written to believers in general and not a specific group. We are going to […]
Why do we have holidays like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, President’s Day, or Memorial Day? It is a day of remembrance of those things and people who have significant meaning in our lives and society.
