What's going on? That's the question that I have to keep in front of me all the time. And it's kind of exhausting. I'll admit to being in a sort of funk lately.

I walked up and gently suggested that they might be more successful in winning souls to the Lord if they weren’t so, well, direct about their contempt for everyone else. The woman smiled back and said, “Oh, if anyone has a problem with what he’s saying, they have bigger problems than him saying it, because they’re going to hell.” M’kay… Street preachers aren’t specific to Fort Payne. During a visit to Nashville this summer, there were proselytiz...
