Transitional Theology

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Feb 1, 2003

I want to use this Preaching Moment to highlite this headline: Transitional Theology. The Text I have tagged and targeted for ...read more

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Two Sundays ago I was in Tampa, Florida at the Campus Mission Confabulation, a ministry conference on how to effectively do campus ...read more
