Trifling With Souls
Picture from the gospelcoalition.org website In trying times such as these there are many voices clamoring for our attention. Crises present opportunities for self-interested people to sell their wares. Often it’s an ideology that’s for sale, fueled by a vain ambition to be popular or to feel important and validated.

“Truth Claims”
