I don’t want to keep you in suspense. Both of these are real page-turners. I could write volumesabout them. You should check them out.

Everything could change.. what COVID-19 has done for us

Tribute: Dr. W.O. Vaught

I never realized expository preaching wasn't common for all churches as I grew up because it was all I knew. This post is a tribute to Dr. W.O.
