The Scandal of the Gospel

Posted on December 6, 2022 by RC

Our Mission? Submission

Posted on December 2, 2022 by RC

Good News

Posted on November 25, 2022 by RC

Getting Better All the Time?

Posted on October 18, 2022 by RC

History is littered with the inhuman. That is, when we seek to take an honest look at those who have gone before us, we find what we manage to think is something different from us. We look at Nazi Germany … Continue reading →

Pulling Up Roots

Posted on October 6, 2022 by RC

I confess I was surprised to find it there, one of those evangelical catch phrases that unbelievers don’t understand. I’d heard people confess to the problem, warn about its destructive nature, accuse others of being in its grip- the root … Continue reading →
