Blessings to all of you and I do hope this post finds you well. My apologies for not posting for a while, as I was in a transition stage while moving from Montana to Florida. As many of you know, moves such as this can be quite hard and my first priority (humanly speaking) was…
Earlier this year I gave a presentation on the Christian worldviews ability to account for objective moral standards.
