Ask RC- The Great Commission calls us to make disciples of the nations. What is a disciple?

Posted on April 30, 2020 by RC

Posted on April 24, 2020 by RC

God’s Hammer

Posted on April 18, 2020 by RC

Liars ‘R’ Us

Posted on April 15, 2020 by RC

Liars gonna lie. That’s what we do. I, having been known to tell a lie from time to time, quite understand the temptation and the reality. What is harder for me to understand is why lying is so effective, why … Continue reading →

The Death of Dust

Posted on April 11, 2020 by RC
