Re: Church in Toronto's Salvation Theology
We are here in a "prison of two extremes."

Re: Important Questions
Matt, since I have heard and read so many untrustworthy eschatological interpretations of OT prophecy, I do not look first to the OT. It can definitely provide details, context, and foundation for...
