I don't drink the Kool-Aid. For Anyone.
Why Do We Ignore this Bible Verse?
I’m in Sunday School this morning; we’re engaged in a study of Jeremiah, and it’s a good class, taught by a well-prepared teacher and filled with folks fluent in the Bible. The teacher referenced Hebrews 3:13-14, which reads, 12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to…
"My Maserati Does 185…"
So sang Joe Walsh as he celebrated the fact that “life’s been good to me so far!” Today, I saw my first Maserati (I’ve seen Lamborghinis and Ferraris, living in metro Atlanta, but not, to my remembrance, a Maserati). Pulled up and parked right next to it at the bank. And you know what I…
