I can tell you what I do. I look for the back door. I look for a way out. I want to avoid the questions. I ...read more

But when they come in on Easter morning, the stones are all gone.] [Read Luke 15:11-24.] You’ve ...read more

This past week a young man emailed me the following message: “Scott, I just felt the need to let you know ...read more
