How Pastors Accidentally Ruin Their Church – “Most pastors really love their church. They understand their calling as under-shepherds tasked with guarding the bride of Christ.

Undermining the Bible

There is an entire sector of the publishing industry that is dedicated to undermining people’s confidence in the Bible.

The plane reached the terminal in Recife, Brazil and the ground crew opened the door. I have been through more airports than I can count1 and find they all kind of blur together—jetways, corridors, escalators, luggage belts.
