Hearing Aids For Husbands
By: Nils Swanson | September 5, 2000

Taste And See That God Is Good
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | September 5, 2000

"For the husband is the head of the wife, is that not what the Bible says?" my friend asked in all earnestness. "No," I replied, "that is not what the Bible says. Paul says that the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. How is Christ the [...]
