“The Resurrection of Debbie” (from The Case For Christ – Strobel, Pg.325)
Habermas rubbed his graying beard. The quick fire cadence and debater’s edge to his voice were gone. No more quoting of scholars, no more citing of Scripture, no more building a case. I had asked about the importance of the

[018] A MESSAGE FROM A POEM - AMERICA, AMERICA, HOW YOU BLASPHEME!

[036] A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – BLESSED LAMB OF GOD IN ADORATION
