Witness: Confesses #4 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 24, 2019

our largest tool for sharing the gospel has been thwarted by our willingness to so assimilate into the culture we don’t look like any different or welcome the challenge of criticism or debate for what we believe. We’d prefer to live anonymously.

Thanksgiving In America After Corona

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Nov 23, 2020

The Wealth Test
