ezs note:  I ran across and Rev. Ed Trevors gave a breath of fresh air.  Unfortunately, most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap.  I may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good.

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm (Eastern time).  Look for :
