Jesus made it very clear that the basis of the Law and Prophets was love, not legalism. I mean, there is a lot of legality in the Law – it’s the law! And, there is a lot of uncovering in the prophets as well as promise – it’s reveal-a-tion! However, understanding the bedrock strata from […]

The term “pundit” is a Sankrit word for a “teacher, learned person” that we use to speak of a person who makes a living expressing their opinion or communicating from a learned and experienced viewpoint.
