Very few African American Christians would consider themselves to be evangelical, because for many […]
Recently I wrote an article that got a lot of attention for its content, but I believe some missed the heart behind it. There is a racially charged problem in our society. These events have taken place on the streets of some of our most prominent cites, and most recently, our universities. These events have […]
