For whoever would save his life will loose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Matthew 16:25 provides the basic message of the Gospel in one sentence.

I just saw on TV that Tony Alamo’s compound has been raided by the FBI. Tony Alamo is one of the most rabidly anti catholic preachers in the United States. I wonder if he will blame the Catholic Church for this one. He likes to blame the Church for almost everything else. Allegations of child abuse as [...]
