I GOT TRASH TALKED THIS WEEK. And death threatened. I guess I brought it on myself by asking a tough question in Tuesday’s blog article, Christian response to refugees. Here’s the question that got me in trouble. What’s the Christian principle at …
I’M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING I haven’t found yet. I asked my Bible study group for it on Sunday. No luck there. My question was about the six million Middle Eastern refugees, and the fact that more than half of the people in this country—Christians …
