Compassion compelled Jesus to do something about the situation. In the previous chapter, we have the account of Jesus feeding the five thousand at Bethsaida by the Sea of Galilee, where the crowd were mostly Jews. Here, however, the crowd comprised Jews and Gentiles (Mark 7: 31), and gives...
An astronomer and her professor find a huge asteroid heading for earth. The impact of this asteroid will end all life on earth. They do everything they can to “tell the world” of their finding. They manage to meet a very flamboyant President of the United States who merely shuns off...
