We can’t go a day without hearing about some new statistic about the death rates in “CHIRAQ” or Chicago or about another ISIS moment in the Middle East. For many of ...read more

Did He perfect the people who are being made holy with one offering for all time? Do we need patient endurance, so that we will ...read more
