An Old Error in New Clothes This is not so much a question for Baptists, who are very clear on this, but for many other groups and individuals there is great and unnecessary confusion on this topic. There is an…
San Clemente has no shortage of compromised churches. We have rock-concert non-denominational venues, seeker-sensitive social clubs, and high-production entertainment centers with crosses in them (for some unknown reason). But among them all, one stands out as the most spiritually dangerous…
