It is a familiar-sounding tale: after decades of simmering discontent a new form of media gives opponents of an authoritarian regime a …

Dr. Phil Baker preach a powerful encouragement on how Christians need to be in Community (based on today’s Lectionary readings). Christians without a community, he said, is a contradiction of terms. But, “It takes hard work to develop …

He also shared from the …
