This week Bro. Leo continues us on a Biblical study that’s goal is to look at the life of Jesus through a lens of those who were there (inspired by the book “The Jesus I never knew”). This week we continue to study what Jesus was teaching us about time when He said “Are there not twelve hours in the day?” and how to apply it to our current circumstances.
Mid way through this study Bro. Leo gives an excellent Biblical commentary on our societies promotion of homosexual life styles. His explanation should be every Christians response to the movement.
The Word of God is very descriptive of mankind’s life span. From Adams 930 years (Gen.5:5) to King David’s 70 years (2Sam.5:4) God’s Word tells us we have a definite numbers of days of life. With this knowledge we should be determined to use everyday we are given in the best way we can (Psa.90:12).
