Second, the Psalms of Moses (90,91); “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom” (90:12): then noting the… Read More Today’s thought “I … could not address you as spiritual people” (February 21)

It is a long time ago that I tried to help some people in India to get to know Christ and his God. At first, I was a (non-trinitarian) Baptist but got people baptised in Christadelphianism, before I myself also decided to become a Christadelphian, going out that denomination with thousands of my Baptist brethren… Read More Why not going to Shunem or Hyderabad for helping many in need
