Breakfast with the Devil, Supper with the Savior (Podcast)

Breakfast with the Devil, Supper with the Savior Podcast by Colin Smith for Unlocking the Bible One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: ‘Aren’t you the Christ?

Remember the prisoners as if chained with them

Remember the prisoners as if chained with them If you’ve ever been to jail then you know it is not designed for humans. The images we see in movies and on television attempting to give a glimpse of what a prison cell may have been like when Paul, John or Joseph were captured may or may not be accurate.
