What is the ‘Bad Eye’ in Matthew 6:23
What does the bad eye refer to in Matthew 20:15? It refers to an eye that cannot see the beauty of grace. It cannot see the brightness of generosity.

Establishing Their Own
The self righteous will never love Jesus Christ but they will listen to sermons about Him if it will get them in heaven and blessing on earth.
