Can you blame Conservatives for posting these election signs on every street corner? Looking forward to the upcoming election, every gas station now has anti-Obama signs posted for everyone to see, and feel. How’s that “hope and change” doing for you?

I also gave my thoughts on my conversion at St. Peter’s, viewed the magnificent larger-than-life Stations of the Cross in front of St. Peter’s, and showed the [...]

Before I left Jerusalem yesterday, I ran through the Old City following the events of Holy Thursday. Thought people would like to see it with their own eyes :-) I also just made a video of our group walking the Via Dolorosa from the Trial of Jesus by Pilate to Calvary and the Tomb – [...]

Because we will discuss this on Drew Mariani’s Show (www.RelevantRadio.com), I’ve posted my article for easy access. “For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth” (Matt. 12:38-40) Skeptics [...]
