There you have it! A man with the most despicable life imaginable, at the last possible moment of life, made a profession of faith, to which God said “yes”.

With this SCOTUS decision, the soap box has been forcibly removed, and replaced with a guillotine. Mark these words and watch as what are now only implication-pr...
Keep ReadingGod is not mocked. The coronavirus is one of the seeds we’ve sown, and its toll of suffering and death is part of the harvest of corruption that comes with it (Gal 6:7-8).
