If you’ve been following along with the weekly blogs, you know that last week my wife, Tammy, wrote a blog titled, Misalignment. Knowing her intimately means that I have a front-row seat to seeing what the Holy Spirit is doing in and through her. It’s truly beautiful because it is a living manifestation of God’s

The Militant Evangelist We ought to be uncompromising regarding the Gospel, right? Agreed. We have the obligation to the Lord to fight the good fight of faith to defend it, right? Indeed.
