By Sharpy | Published: February 4, 2010
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the [...]

Ben Stein’s “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”

By Sharpy | Published: October 17, 2009

And Then Some (about the title)

By Sharpy | Published: January 30, 2009
