By on Tuesday, January 6th, 2015 | 9 Comments

Christianity is not ALL about avoiding hell or having a happy afterlife in heaven. In fact, it’s not even MOSTLY about those things. I do not think it is about these things much at all.

By on Saturday, March 15th, 2014 | 1 Comment

For those who preach, teach, or otherwise share the Gospel…we should always lead with GRACE.
