He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Net) # 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 15, 2022

This is a fascinating parable the Lord used in teaching something He wanted men to know about the kingdom of heaven.

For example, many ministers today, if they do not come out and preach it, they imply that if you live a good moral life and attend church frequently, when you die you will go to heaven. But the fact is, the Bible ...read more
