Inspirational Quote of the Week:

“As he taught, Jesus said, ‘Be wary of the scribes and the keepers of the law. They love to walk around in richly flowing robes, and to be greeted with great show of respect in the markets, and to have the highest places of honour at banquets. And yet they devour widows’ houses, while hypocriticaly making public shows of reverence. These will receive the hardest judgement.”
