This obviously points the reader to examine the authorship of the gospel itself because of the consistencies in story throughout Jesus’s life. In John 21 it says in reference to the beloved disciple‚ “This is

SELECTING A DISCIPLE-MAKER’S MESSAGE Introduction Message selection‚ for the disciple-maker‚ is an all-important endeavor. Effective disciple making does not just simply happen. Happenstance cannot be and should not be the modus operandi of one who desires to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. People are fragile and the Gospel is powerful.

after all these years‚ we have to stop or give someone the right not to say the Pledge of Allegiance in school. The flag to me represents everything we have fought for as a nation.

As I placed my [Describe hand?] hand over my heart‚ I heard a giggle from behind. I turned and saw some of my classmates twisting in their place‚ chatting amongst themselves‚ and distractedly gazing at the ceiling beams.
