Will God Answer for His Actions?

March 30, 2020March 30, 2020 ~ David Mercer ~ 8 Comments

Chicken in Church (and It’s Not Potluck)

January 29, 2019 ~ David Mercer ~ 6 Comments

I asked for conversation and they attacked. I say they're chicken... If I were still a minister, I'd be embarrassed at their answers.

How do you know that what you believe is true? Don't call me a pig and walk away. I would like some real conversation.
