Favourite sacred songs/hymns?
On Facebook yesterday (16 July 2009) I wrote: ‘When I survey the wondrous cross / On which the Prince of Glory died / My richest gain I count but loss / And pour contempt on all my pride… Were the whole realm of nature mine / That were a present far too small / Love […]
Letter to a Megachurch Pastor
