Many Christians do not know the technical name for the theology that is behind the Left Behind series of books. It is called dispensational theology or dispensationalism.

Huw agree with the viewpoint in the announcement, however, Father Orthoduck will be discussing this in the next day or so.

Keith Green was one of my favorite Christian artists. I was a young Jesus People believer. He, Second Chapter of Acts, and other groups of that type formed my early Christianity, in worship and in outlook. I still remembered how crushed I felt when he died in a plane crash. I know that there were […]

Fetal cells, pro-life, and vaccines
I was asked yesterday: I am wondering if you can write more about vaccines, many of which are cultured on fetal cells.
