    Does one bad apple really spoil the bunch? Can one good apple redeem the bad bunch?

Our 3rd grade teacher probably put it to us as ...read more

    What about spiritual warfare? 2 Corinthians 10 & Ephesians 6 Well, I can tell you this may be the most diverse of our discussions yet and at least one of, if not the, most misunderstood, misused, abused, and outright confusing topics we can bring up.
