Matthew 18:20 .. 2 or 3 gathered. This scripture verse is one of the most cliched, or what I call "Christian-ese" verses of all. People act as if they go to the grocery store with another church-goer then Jesus is there to push the cart for them. While I know without fail that the Holy... Continue Reading →
