Excerpt: “During my morning reading in this passage of the Gospels, I found myself enthralled by Peter’s pride. I know for myself, I thoroughly related.

As I write this, reader, envision me shaking my head in shame knowing how much I have failed and still fail…at everything.” - samsonsmyopia.com

“What profit is an idol when its maker has shaped it, a metal image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation when he makes speechless idols!”
