The fictional wall separating “Church and state” became a real issue some 30 or 40 years ago. At that time, however, there was never any mention, nor do I believe a thought of separating American citizens.

This is not a condemnation, a judgment, but an observation that holds true for me as well as for the rest of mankind. To understand today’s … More Study -All Sin all the Time – 12/31/2025
We must be exceptionally careful in the matter of comparing Scripture with Scripture. The Bible never contradicts itself. We must never base our doctrine upon one statement only; or to put it in another way, our doctrine must never be so formulated as to be in conflict with any other statement of Scripture or to … More Friday Feature Quote – “Why Doctrine Matters” – 12/26/2025
