When Jesus told His disciples to gather up the fragments, He was telling them that all truth is essential. Why? Because “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” So regardless of the topic, our question on this podcast will never be ‘is it salvational’ but rather: ‘is it the truth’? Each fortnight, we'll unravel a challenging yet heart-changing theme from the Bible. It's our desire that this ...

Well within a century of the English Reformation and the dissolution of the monasteries the government was passing poor laws to help those who were no longer being car ...
