Church of KFC

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, November 2, 2011

If you want one picture that will explain one part of modern China, this will do as well as anything else we saw. If the picture looks like a church, that’s because this building was once a church. After the 1949 Revolution the church was closed and the building taken over by the government. In recent years some savvy businessmen bought the b...

Five Reasons to Preach the Whole Book of Daniel

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, November 18, 2011

This morning I finish teaching the book of Daniel to the students at Word of Life Bible Institute in Hudson, Florida. Since this is my fourth year to teach this one-week course, I’ve gotten a bit of rhythm in my teaching.
