Posted on June 24, 2013 by alandkathi66

WHY WE DO THE THINGS WE DO by Vicki Hinze

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Vicki Hinze

Posted on June 14, 2013 by yvon63

Don’t Think About the Cross this Easter by James L. Rubart

Posted on March 30, 2013 by James L. Rubart

The cross has not only become the symbol for Easter, it’s become the symbol for all of Christianity. The reason I say “become” is because it hasn’t always been that way. For the early Christians, the symbol of Christianity was … Continue reading →

Posted on March 11, 2013 by alandkathi66
