ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors, who gave me a breath of fresh air.  Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure BS. Fortunately, though, Ed saves the day. I may not see every line from side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him. To learn more about him, go to Bing AI and type 'Who is Reverend Ed Trevors?'

By the way, if you're free, Ed broadcasts live on 1) most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm and 2) most Wednesday afternoons at 2:00 pm (Eastern time). (other time zones will vary)  Look for :
