Posted on May 4, 2020 by RC

Posted on May 2, 2020 by RC

Posted on April 30, 2020 by RC

Ask RC- Are we living in the last days?

Posted on April 27, 2020 by RC

Yes, of course we are. Before, however, you start packing for the Rapture Express, you might want to remember that your grandparents were also living in the last days. And their grandparents before them, and their grandparents before them. Luther … Continue reading →

Carpe Diem

Posted on April 24, 2020 by RC

Should pastors preach a congregation’s sins?

Posted on April 23, 2020 by RC
