April 3, 2010

“As a born again believer, the Bible teaches that you were there at the Cross positionally and spiritually (just as you were in Adam prior to salvation).

October 16, 2009

Letter to a soon-to-be-published author | Culture Making: “It is good to keep in mind Mark Twain’s admittedly harsh dictum, ‘Most books come into the world with all the fanfare of a stillborn child.’ The truth is that unlike, say, your wedding day, there will be a great and utter lack of excitement about your [...]
