Government, the Educational Establishment, and Corporate interests increasingly penalize Christ followers.

Sometimes, in churches and families, the Gospel is watered down, oversimplified, and even gutted to the point we vaccinate people against the truth. Instead, we substitute a checklist to keep them out of Hell and to help them find comfort and do things to keep God off their backs. In so doing, churc...

How should a follower of Jesus Christ, view the organization called "Black Lives Matter"?

As we look back on the death of George Floyd and the trial of Derek Chauvin as Christians, what are we to think? How are we to think? All over this fallen world people seek revenge for injustices.
