                    GOT IT COMIN'
Clint Eastwood Westerns are great movies.  One of his later movies is titled “Unforgiven.”  In the movie, Eastwood plays the part of an aging gunfighter who lost his taste for killing many years before.  He and his old partner, played by Morgan Freeman, are lured by the rumor of a

                    There is a doctrine that is becoming popular that teaches that a Christian can reach a point in their lives where sin no longer has an effect on them.   They cease to sin.  Of course this totally goes against the Word of God.  Hopefully, as we grow and mature as Christians sin has less of a hold on
