Why am I so hard on Republican Christians? This is why. If you are a true Christian, no, let me say it this way, you are only a true Christian if you have been broken by Christ. Period. That is the benchmark. If you have not been flat on your face, or curled up into […]
Author’s Note: I am reposting this after Donald Trump’s victory. We’ve heard what he has to say about Muslims. Trump markets in fear.
