With the big national election tomorrow, we talked yesterday at CrossWay about the political scene and how we should respond.

An Important Day
Today is the anniversary of the day centuries ago when Martin Luther famously banged on the door of the church at Wittenburg and demanded they give him 95 pieces of candy. Or something like that. I get it mixed up. Continue reading
