Bible Savvy (Book Review)

July 9, 2013

DISCLAIMER: I received a copy of this book from the publisher for the purpose of this review. How hard could it be to read a book? How hard could it be to read one book in particular, namely, the Bible? Sometimes it seems crazy to think that we need…

February 22, 2013

Religion vs. Relationship

February 1, 2013

It's not knowing ABOUT God, it's about KNOWING God, or so the folk theology goes today. It's not about religion, it's about relationship. However you slice the pie, it's something we're incredibly concerned with today. Such pop preaching has arisen…
