A Biblical worldview for a world in search of the Truth
The theme of "Church Hurt" is one that has been discussed, written about and argued over since, I would imagine, the first church comprised of the disciples of Christ.

For the last ten days Susanne and I had the privilege of participating in a camp designed to serve Ukraine military members and their families. I am in fact on the return flight home as I reflect on and write about some of the experiences had and lessons learned. I hope to write three different... Continue Reading →
