Plundering the Strong Man’s House

Tulum, Mesoamerica, and Judgment

Kirthundia and Christendom
What we do for the Lord, and for the sake of the gospel, matters in the grand scheme of God’s redemptive plan for creation.
Lament for the West
Jesus lamented over the spiritual condition of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum. Should we lament over the condition of the West?
