The Mark of a True Disciple

Surrounded by admirers and enemies, Jesus teaches in the temple. He experiences what most would consider a mark of great success.

How to Pray Before You Read the Bible

When I first started reading the Bible regularly, I read in energetic bursts. I read because I felt I needed to. It seemed that every few verses, God was speaking to me. I would press my finger to the page, running it over a line of text, as if I could absorb it better that way. I was scared, so…
