What worries you most about your ideological friends?

Posted on November 4, 2020 by RC

What worries you most about your ideological friends? The same thing that worries me most about me. We are overrun by the cowardice of paper prophets. These thundering heroes build a following and a reputation by denouncing with great vigor … Continue reading →

Are we co-creators with God? My pastor said so in his sermon.

Posted on October 22, 2020 by RC
