Seminary is almost done! It has been an extremely enriching time for me as few are granted the opportunity to set much of life aside to look into theology, history, missiology, and the scriptures for three years.

Read MoreI just posted about an hour ago about the passing of the second founder of the Moral Majority (which later evolved into the Evangelical Right).
