New Theses, New Reformation
Thesis 42- We must rejoice in the Lord always. The grass is always greener at that other time. Or, to put it another way, our retro-vision glasses have rose colored lenses. Many of us face the tendency to not only … Continue reading

Ask RC- Why is the church so full of phonies?
