“And whenever evening came, they would leave the city. As they were passing by in the morning.” (Mark 11:19-20 NASB) To get started, let me defend my one-word title. If an old black and white fictional movie about giant ants invading the earth could be released decades ago, designed to entertain us; if it could be simply titled “Them,” well, I surely can present you with a new...
