Should we just ignore the whole mess? And so forth! While there are many issues surrounding this matter, one of them is certainly a…
I love Christian Camps, and have spoken in camps every year since God allowed me to enter the ministry as an evangelist! I spent thirteen of those years working closely with my friend and mentor Evangelist Bill Rice III at the Bill Rice Ranch in Murfreesboro, TN. During those 13 summers of ministry I spoke…
