Contributed by Robert Butler on Mar 29, 2021

“Lent is one of the oldest observations on the Christian calendar. Like all Christian holy days and holidays, it has changed over the years, but its purpose has always been the same: self-examination and penitence, demonstrated by self-denial, in preparation for Easter.

New Wine, Old Wineskins Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 31, 2022

There is an old television commercial that I still remember, and I still snicker when I think about it. The commercial is in black and white.
