How Progressives Are Hijacking Christian Words | 1/25/2025 | #196 25.01.2025

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE CULTURE, YOU BEGIN BY CHANGING LANGUAGE. The enemies of the gospel know this all too well.

Their goal is to transform society to reflect their harmful, anti-Christian beliefs. As followers of Jesus...
