Many things about the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus have been removed from modern preaching. It is such a shame. I don’t know if it is because preachers don’t know what to say, but in many ways the limitations of the Secrets of Jesus are simply hidden because some don’t like what he suggested and that is criminal.

This will be done by looking at many additional works that have cycled from being in the Bible and out of ...

There have been few times in modern music history that an instant shift in how we listen to - and view - music has occurred.
