“Spiritual disciplines matter all the time, but we need to be reminded of that in tumultuous times.”

“Coronavirus, Vulnerability and Dignity”ThinkingPastorally
“Our Christianity should be marked by an understanding of the dignity of people which is so deep and theologically rooted that we can never reduce the ocean of significance contained in each and every person by a single drop.

These are just a few questions we will tackle and discuss under the broad theme of ‘identity’ at the Calvary Chapel CGN International Conference on June 29 – July 2, 2020.”

“The Pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church”Back to Basics
