Don Lemon is a gorgeous man! In each chapter, he discusses our current political hellscape and the religious woes infused with it. In this administration, each publish feels outdated because things are unraveling so fast.

This is not ‘legalism‘; it is orderliness and fidelity.” But much here is universal.

“Christians, especially ministers, so often think they must always contribute something when they‘re in the company of others, that this is the one service they have to render.
