The most common criticism I hear about preaching is this: it is offered as though nothing is at stake. Sermons are delivered as though nothing really matters. I asked folks a few years ago to explain why they were not church goers. One said, “Church is nice but it is not for Read More...

Clinic was hectic again this morning with 40 more patients coming from Juacuapo Occidental, a village about 1.5 hours away.
