Contributed by Chad Bolfa on Oct 1, 2010

Revival must first and foremost be a conscience decision on our part to accept ...read more

The King Of Rejection

Contributed by Gordan Runyan on Aug 23, 2002

We don’t routinely hear people in positions over us referred to as tyrants. (They may in fact be tyrants, but we don’t use the word.) But the word “tyranny” ...read more
