  • Could our financial woes be good for the Gospel?

    Last week I wrote a little on our financial woes but I wanted to look on the other side.  You know in this time of financial trouble it is easy to loose track of important matters in our panic.  It is very possible that if we do things right, the church of Christ could truly…

    On the heels of my extrmeme Christianity blogs I thoutht it would be good to point out that I am not the only one feeling this way.  This is a great little post I just stumbled across. Dorie Morgan’s Rising Up » Wasteful Spending in Suburbia » Navigating Twenty-Something Suburban Life

  • Extreme Christianity III
