So I “soapboxed” a little bit this weekend, in case you missed it. I know, I know, the pulpit isn’t supposed to be a “soapbox”, but this issue REALLY matters in my view (and hopefully in yours, too). See, it’s my conviction that we just don’t worship God enough at Christmastime. Yes, you’re right, we …
Where Do I Sign?
