How can we find the truth
These words of Jesus, granted they are taken somewhat out of context, are still true. We cannot be free if we do not know the truth. So, how can we know the truth? While the American people would appear to want just to sit back and let someone spoon-feed them “the truth,” that is a guaranteed way…

I’ve heard some pretty lame excuses in my lifetime.
