It’s hard when you’re focused on all of the headlines and challenges represented by this particular season in our nation’s history to remember that there is a virus far more toxic than the COVID-19 scenario. And however you want to embrace or sneer at all of the hype, there’s something to be mindful of that […]
While you find the word, “slavery” in the Bible, in no way shape or form do you find an endorsement for the kind of slavery that existed in the United States in the 17th and 18th centuries.
