His workmanship on translation can be seen in almost every passage of the New and Old Testament, and we ought to be in gratitude for the opportunity to read from the work of the “Father of the English Bible.” Tyndale’s strong will and labor of love to reach all people through his translation of the Bible will be a lasting…

Literacy definitely played a significant role in the modernization and civilization of the old world. In the beginning, people only used writing as an aid to the memory, but as time passed, it became more than a necessity.

As the century progressed, literacy became an important part of many aspects in society, and people were…

Jesus contrasts the phony goodness of the religious leaders with the true devotion of the poor widow. With this great story He gives three great principles about giving; First about God, second about the attendees and third, about the woman. First, God is interested in our giving. God has given us so much in time and talents and money ergo he wants to see what we do with all that abundance. When our giving is done right, it is an act of worship.

I personally think it is because in 78 years of driving she has never been in a major accident and she feels impervious to accidents.…
