Wise Men Still Seek Him
To what lengths are we willing to go in order to discover truth? Even more important: How willing are we to act on the truth we know? The Bible records, “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is […]
