    Language is an interesting thing. It changes with new words added each year to our lexicon and old ones falling out of favor. It also means that the meanings of words change and some are used as either as a verb or a noun. (Slide 1) For example, we when say ‘ADdress’ we mean a specific location ...read more

So I decided to ask a few self-described Christians what they actually believe. Same questions every ...read more
