Monday October 16, 2006

Blogging: An article published by the Restored Church of God says that blogging is sinful. “Let me emphasize that NO ONE–including adults–should have a blog or personal website (unless it is for legitimate business purposes).”

Drawing from the ancient world, Sayers challenges Christians to become pillars—people who provide strength and support for others, who live with character…

  • The Tallest Trees

    The Winds Blow Hardest Against the Tallest Trees

    Through the weekend had many questions about Christian leaders who fall.
