WHO SAY YE THAT I AM? Matthew 16:15
Jesus withdrew - this is a-time when Jesus literally went for rest and reflection. You
talk about going on retreats ( by the way, I don't like the name Retrest. I tell all our
group when they go out of town - you go out on an Advance.) We've been going on retreats

the Greeks were concerned. The god to Pan - they believed was buried there Pan was
buried at Caesarea Phillipi. Can anybody tell me what a follower of Pan - what would
they worship? Anyone tell me? The God of Pan - you would w ...
