Effective political messaging

The Lion's Roar Posted on January 13, 2016 by LarryJanuary 13, 2016

Government in Our Image?

The Lion's Roar Posted on January 8, 2016 by LarryJanuary 8, 2016

Trusting God in Tragedy

The Lion's Roar Posted on January 7, 2016 by LarryJanuary 7, 2016

Trust in God.  It’s easy for me to say, but not so easy to do, or even to hear.  We know that’s what we’re supposed to do, but what happens when that trust seems to have been broken?  God is … Continue reading →
