I don’t understand this persecution mentality that pops [...]
There were a few comments on my critique within the emerging church post which I think needed another post for a response. Normally I just post a comment myself to reply to other comments. “biblemike” said, “How sad it is for me to see the so called emergent church falling prey to the same nonsensical [...]
