Audio Version read by Carl Vasta
mp3...The Unbelieving Towns...mp3
The people who lived in the towns where Jesus performed most of his miracles
did not turn away from their sins.
The cities of Capernaum, a town on the North West shore of the Sea of Galilee;
Chorazin, which was north of Caprnaum, and Bethsaida, a town close to Capernaum
came under the rebuke of Jesus, who put them to shame saying, "How terrible it will be for
you Chorazin! How terrible it will be for you too, Bethsaida! If the miracles
which were performed in you had been performed in Tyre or Sidon, the people there would have
put on sackcloth and sprinkled ashes on themselves long ago, to show that they had turned
from their sins! I assure you that on the Judgment Day God will show more mercy to the people
of Tyre and Sidon than to you!"
"And as for you, Capernaum," Jesus said, "You see yourself being a well known
city and a popular destination for many people, but you will come down to nothing!
If the miracles which were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would still
exist today! You can be sure that on the Judgment Day God will show more mercy to Sodom than
to you!"
New Testament, Book Of Matthew, Chapter 11, Verses 20-24
(also found in the Book Of Luke, Chapter 10, Verses 13-15)

A New Feature..... For Free! - The Storyline
Of The Bible
There are at least 66 books that make up
the bible. Sometimes, trying to follow a storyline is difficult because there are books that
are good for support and prayer like Wisdom, Job, Psalms,
and Proverbs. They take you away from the story.
I have put the Storyline of the Bible into 19 easy to read pages that you can print out!
And now you can listen... FREE! to the Storyline read by Kathy Bird.
It's streamed mp3 so you can listen to it easily, even if you have dial up. The story
includes references so you can find the topics... in just about any version of the Bible.
If you ever wanted to know what the Bible is all
about, here is your chance!

1864 before the end of the Civil War. Five stanzas of the seven were set to music in
