Chuck Colson, the founder of Prison Fellowship, shared the story of being invited to preach at tough San Quentin Prison. He eagerly looked forward to this opportunity since 300 of the 2,200 inmates had agreed to come to the chapel to hear him. A cache of weapons, however, were found by prison officials days before […]
The last words a dying person speaks to his/her loved ones are usually full of meaning and significance. This is especially true of the dying Jesus on the cross. The 4 Gospels record the 7 last sayings of Christ in their Passion narratives of Christ’s crucifixion. Let us take a look at one of these […]
