“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral or spiritual crisis, proclaim their neutrality.” Said by John F. Kennedy in an attempt to quote Dante, neither of which are we probably excited to duplicate in speech or theology. While I certainly don’t want to get into the potential [...]

By Jon and David Wooten (with apologies to Dr. Seuss and to the regulative principle) Note: this poem was delivered as an announcement on Sunday morning to promote the TLC Walk for Life. A person’s a person, no matter how small. No matter how short and no matter how tall. True Life Choice cares for [...]

Somebody handed me a postcard last Sunday with this picture on it. Needless to say, that got my attention.
