And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper (Rom. 1:28 NASB) I have to admit, I’m pretty sad right now. I may be a borderline hermit but I don’t live under a rock, so I’ve seen all the division that’s become so common … [Read more...]
7 of My Favorite Books of the Bible and Why You Should Read Them
I love the Bible. It's weird saying that now because I used to cringe when I heard others say it.
