All my life, when I heard the word ‘disciple’ a vague picture of a man, representing Yahushua/Jesus standing in front of a group of mostly men, some women, teaching, is what came to mind. Not too different from what a church service looks like, but a little less formal. It seems many have a similar…
There are a whole lot of people telling a whole lot of other people Who to pray for right now. Pray for the President, the former President, the Government leaders, the enemies, etc. But what if we take the time to search the Scriptures for who to pray for? Let’s start with the New Testament…
