This is the first blog in my “All the Words in Red” series where we take a look at what Jesus said and apply that to 21st century problems. When I was a kid growing up in rural South Carolina, we had a saying, “Thank God for Mississippi.” The reason we said this: even […]
For God’s sake, “Christians” need to learn how to discriminate
It’s been in the news for a couple of years now. Across the United States, small business owners have refused to provide services for same sex weddings.
