There is a part of me that dreads and has avoided writing an opinion blog on immigration. As it stands currently, it is a convoluted and twisted mess of a crisis that has become politicized within American culture and polarizing within the ranks of Christendom. No one argues the fact that our southern borders are being pressured in significant ways by untold thousands (and millions) of people seeking entrance into the United States.

The IRS is in the Church Parking Lot (Literally)

A false accusation can literally stain a person’s reputation for years. Of all the injustices any person may face, the sting of a false accusation is sometimes the worst.

Restoring the Pastor’s Voice to the Civic Arena
Sunday, April 15, 2018
