Shalom!

Beloved, you’ve probably met people who can beautifully and clearly express their thoughts. These people are very skilled with their words and think deeply. It is interesting to listen or read such people. It’s especially nice when these people are Christians since their thoughts are focused on the Creator. This week I propose we look at some famous Christians of the past and the present. Their observation don’t replace the Bible but they help us better understand the concepts found in Scripture. We believe that the Holy Spirit opens to us the will of the Father through the word. Surely, He doesn’t do this only to us. May these quotes lead you to admire the human mind and worship the great and loving Heavenly Father!
