It's that time of year again. All the disgusting and creepy decorations come out, gory costumes clutter the stores, and candy is everywhere. Halloween and all its horrors have become internationally accepted and celebrated. Last year alone, Americans spent 12.2 billion dollars on Halloween. That is insane. What's even more insane to me is those … Continue reading Halloween’s Horrors

I have been waiting for Resurrection Sunday for the longest time now. It has always been one of my favorite days.

Are Baptists Protestant?
There is a lot of controversy surrounding this question. Most folks you talk to on the streets would tell you that Baptists are Protestants. Shoot, most Baptists don't even know what they are!
