Cancel Culture Versus God, Our Judge, Forgiver, Redeemer, and Our Hope
Alright, friends. Buckle up. This one’s a long one. As one reads my posts, I believe one would consider most of them to be positive. Joy-filled. While this post is also positive and joy-filled, it deals with a hard truth that is offensive to many. As a sinner saved by grace and grace alone, I…
