In His Own Words – Dr. Mohler lets President Obama describe his own position on abortion. “When Barack Obama was running for President, he was described by some observers as one of the most radical candidates in the nation’s history, in terms of support for abortion.

Wait for God – Mark Altrogge on why it’s good to wait on God.

  • Past Through Over Around

    Past Them, Through Them, Over Them, Around Them
