Envy was a major factor used by God in the exaltation of Jesus
To avoid a mixup, I want the readers to know that my article that was originally Vol. 24, No. 20 appears in a Special Edition of The Final Call dated February 26, 2005. The editor titled it, “The Way of Genuine Love.” This special issue was not given a “volume” and “number.” This is a most important issue of The...
The patient way of Minister Farrakhan
One of the most misunderstood characteristics of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan is the nature of his love, out of which comes his way.
