Dear Friend,

A commentary for the Sabbath School Lesson dated 7.24.10 

A response to the sermon preached by John McLarty on July 3, which can be read here.

by Glenn Aufderhar

John's writing is crisp and clear-fun to read.  His closing appeal is powerful, timely and needed by all people wherever they are on the spectrum of theological thought.
