Imagine that you’re living in a world where one man is capable of cutting through years of political manipulation and return the country in which he serves back over to the people and yet one faction of the same subset of people would rather live in squalor, corruption, crime, or…
Imagine, if you will, a far, far away galaxy, where people exist, who have spiritual leaders that are not really spiritual, but fickle in their words, deeds, and actions. Where hypocrisy is the “new normal” and truth is determined, not on the basis of God’s objective revelation, but upon personal…
Paul Derengowski, ThM That was part of a Fort Worth Star-Telegram article that was written back on November 10. 2017, and finally came out in hard copy today, as it lay in my driveway this morning. Thanks for the timely delivery. The commentary attempted to stress the need for more…
