Dangerous Society

As a pastor and one who generally is passionate about Jesus and all things included in His true work, I am troubled by the progression of the North American church.  It seems we are walking less diligently in the light of what the gospel has laid out as a framework and more towards what our [...]

How to be an Allower

That title has to be one of the most structurally unsound I have ever made.  The word ‘allower’.  It’s not a word, my spell check is screaming at me with red lines, taunting me with the imaginary cries of ‘please click on me, I want to be right, I need to be fixed, help me……’ [...]
