Debates – Though I haven’t been able to listen to them yet, I’ve heard that these debates are interesting.

  • Do you know who God says you are?

    A Collection of Random Thoughts on Christian Living

    Not every thought makes a good article and sometimes an entire article can be distilled down to a single thought.
