Leadership in Doing Good Instead of Shmolitics Hope is a choice, just as much as despair, but there is always the underlying reason for hope or despair: where our faith and biases rest.

Return of the Kings The Christian world has few leaders, with much fear, but there is only one path, straight and narrow. Cheers to those few men out there beginning to light the torches along the way. Our best leaders will follow the kings’ King, the Lord of lords. For He makes fit the humblest…
