Notable posts

In 1907 in San Antonio, in the heat of July and Pentecostal revival, Charles Fox Parham was arrested.

Francis Schaeffer and the death of Baby Doe

Francis Schaeffer's 1982 message to the Presbyterians at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was pretty simple: the philosophy of modern society is humanism, and humanism means death

Belief about 'belief' in the days of twitter & Beyoncé's baby's name
