Paula Misses the Point: Regarding your snotty article that strangely still seems all too ready to shame people for rightly being horrified and indignant about the sexual sin and predation in the church . . . Steven Sitler. Maybe sackcloth and ashes would suit you better. Paula Paula, the point being made there was not …
Looking back over my stats for the last two years, I thought I would pass on to you what the top three sellers have been from my little Mablog Shop on the corner. This is to help along those of you who have not yet purchased one of these little babies (one dollar a piece, …
Introduction: One episode in the Narnia stories has caused no little consternation for evangelical parents as they have read to their children, and that element of the story concerns the salvation of Emeth.
