124 Christian Atheist: I Believe in God but Can't Get Past My Past

Every one of us knows what it’s like to carry around a “sack of shame” – guilt over what we’ve done in the past. What do you do with the contents of that sack?

123 Christian Atheist: I Believe in God but Don't Really Know Him

A Christian Atheist is someone who says they believe in God yet lives as if He doesn’t exist. As Titus 1:16 describes them, “They profess to know God, but their behavior contradicts their profession.”

122 Easter: Resurrection Relevance

One of the fallacies in our day is that all religions are pretty much the same. But the fact is, Christianity stands alone and apart. For one thing, no other major religion takes its stand and stakes its reputation on the bodily resurrection of its founder.

119 Jonah: A Tale Unended

You would like to think that by the time we get to the end of his story, Jonah has changed. That after all he’d been through, he was a better person, a better servant of God than he was at the start of the story.

118 Jonah: Living a GO Life
