Last week I was interviewed by a member of the Associated Press in regards to a blog article I had written earlier this year, Free Gas Giveways to Save Souls?
The writer, a very kind gentlemen, was doing a piece on Churches that promote Gasoline gift-cards and such to get attention and increase attendance, and he [...]

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die…
