Posted on March 10, 2023 by RC

Something New Under the Sun

Posted on March 3, 2023 by RC

A Higher Power

Posted on February 28, 2023 by RC

The Second World War

Posted on February 24, 2023 by RC

Be Still

Posted on February 17, 2023 by RC

The children of God are rather different from the children of men. We have been reborn by a sovereign God. They have not. We have been redeemed by a sovereign God. They have not. We are being remade by a … Continue reading →

Last Things Last?

Posted on February 10, 2023 by RC

What I Found Under the Tree

Posted on December 23, 2022 by RC

Six years ago, just weeks before Christmas, through my own sin, I lost my reputation, my job, my income, my platform. Five years ago, just days before Christmas I lost the one man who stood by me, who loved me … Continue reading →

Jesus Changes Everything

Posted on December 13, 2022 by RC

Our Mission? Submission

Posted on December 2, 2022 by RC
