The Failure We Foster

Erik October 8th, 2007

Many Christians live in a prison of failure. They aren't free and they don't succeed because they don't think they deserve it.

Erik September 17th, 2007

How did some Christians end up being such cowards? And how can they get their mojo back? Real boldness comes from the freedom of having nothing left to lose.

Is Israel the greatest threat to peace in the world today? With injustice on both sides, is there moral equivalence in the Middle East? Do Christians have anything unique to bring to the table? Don't miss th … (Read More)
