The Criticisms of Small Minds
Have you ever had a dream that you knew was possible, but you couldn’t find a way to explain it to the people around you? You knew the what and the why, but you were still trying to figure out the how. I have a dream that is turning into [...]

Update to my post titled “The Gospel Gone Terribly Wrong!”
I have found an article that sums up why Pastor Brandon Cox dislikes the prosperity doctrine, and posted it as an update to my post titled "The Gospel Gone Terribly Wrong!"
