The pathway to true freedom
I talked about entering into a “cooperative process with Jesus” last time. Now, I would like to do a deep dive into Matthew chapter seven to help us better understand what Jesus is telling us here. This should be important … Continue reading
The trajectory of hate
Why would make Antifa and BLM thugs believe that harassing and violently attacking innocent families with children, even elderly, shoving them to the ground (child on left in picture was crushed under protective man with flag when BLM woman charged … Continue reading
Jesus’ Subversive Kingdom – Part Thirteen
