Bibles Removed From NC Baptist Church
Did you hear about the day the Bibles were removed from a small, N.C. Baptist church? I wrote an account of it elsewhere a few years ago and thought I'd share it with you here.

After some reflection on the scripture, you draw inside a frame of hearts a time you had a hardened heart and another space is for how you look living out life with a soft heart.
