Christianity that can be explained is not real but lacking the substance of truth. Christianity has a depth and height that no man can fathom. Moreover, today’s sermon is ...read more

    My Father told me when I was just a pup, "Son, the very first play is the most important. You must show your opponent who is the boss!"
