Please pray for GaryK and myself. We are both in 2 different hospitals for conditions with our bowels. I had a perforated duodenum and had to have surgery to fix me, and Gary had blood in his stool- not fixed but red and raw. That was all he was able to tell me when we talked on the phone. I'm reco...

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist

I tend to believe there is only one standard of right and wrong, and that standard is found in the New Testament. Nonetheless, if you want to talk about what worldly figures that don’t accept Christ’s good news of peace should use as a standard of right and wrong… we have the Old Testament includin...
