I grew up somewhat uniquely. In several ways, I grew up living in two worlds. One big example I like to use is technology. Computers became popular when I was in second grade. However, only the school had them at first. We got a family computer eventually, but we remained analog for a while. I […]
Atheists want to prove that we have no need of God, and are quick to offer reasons why He doesn’t exist. On the surface, these reasons sound like they have merit, but there are flaws in their logic. The basis of their arguments require God’s existence. Frank Turek tells why as he examines how atheists […]
Over the years, I have been called many variations of smart, and I’ve had additional words tacked on the end of smart, like aleck. People were generally commenting on the fact that I appear intelligent. Though I enjoyed the complement when I was younger, what that means has become slightly muddied as I got older. […]

Something important has begun to disappear from the Body of Christ. When we gather, either as families or congregations, it tends to be a cursory visit. The community that early Christians had has been replaced with quick visits that seem almost obligatory. Leonard Sweet explains what needs to change in From Tablet to Table. Using […]
There are plenty of things that we try to keep from others. Some are innocent, like a birthday gift or surprise party. But there are sins that we try very hard to hide away from people. More than that, we often try to hide them from God. Have you ever thought what harm this brings […]
