October 23, 2018 By Barry

If Jesus doesn’t miraculously fix our problem, He will ugly cry with us through our problem. Or, he may do both: miraculously fix and ugly cry.

Nose to Nose with Evil…Again!

February 20, 2018 By Barry

What is our fallen world’s greatest manifestation of evil?   Is it a school shooter pathologically pulling a trigger while aiming at defenseless, innocent students as we’ve just witnessed in Parkland, Florida, and in way-too-many other schools?   Is it a ruthless dictator acting out his personal ethnic or … [Read more...]
