Mother Theresa / Princess Di
I noticed on a "This Day in History" that Mother Theresa died on this day in 1997. This was less than a week after another famous woman died -- Princess Di. The two women could hardly have been more different.
Mother Theresa was raised in a fairly well-to-do family and left it all to become a nun. Not content to live the cloistered life of most nuns, she started a mission to the "poorest of th...
University of Toledo: Real "success" and Warning to America
U of Toledo: Pretty good turnout, students asked good questions and listened respectively to my answers. I know there was good seed sown and I trust it found some good soil today.

Texas A & M: Atheist Loses Excuses

Like many atheists...

The weather was threatening at Florida State, and so I selected a different (drier) location to preach that proved to be quite a good decision. My voice carried well and a large crowd gathered. During the first hour, I answered good and thoughtful questions about the existence of God and how our Bible was assembled and preserved throughout history.
However, after about an hour, a gang of homosexual...
