God set us free thirty years ago. When Buddy and I left the Christian Church, we knew that God was calling us out. Of course, our well-meaning Christian friends thought we were backsliding and quoted the words of Paul, “forsake not the assembling of yourselves together.” As we walked on, we couldn’t have been moreContinue reading “The Church”
The Roast
When God first called me, it took me by surprise. At that time, I was a dedicated Christian. I went to a charismatic mega-church 3 times a week. I tithed from the gross, not the net.

And, whyContinue reading “Why Hasn’t Christ Returned?”
