Ask RC- Was the Reformation necessary?

Posted on October 12, 2020 by RC

Ask RC- Does God want everyone to be healthy and wealthy?

Posted on September 10, 2020 by RC

Ask RC- Can a Christian vote for a Democrat?

Posted on August 24, 2020 by RC

Of course. Truth be told, I’m far more concerned about the spiritual state of the person asking the question than I am about the spiritual state of the person inside the question. This, despite the truth that over the course … Continue reading →
