Dreams Renewed
It’s a warning for our times on everything from war to racial equality. Sure, the Cold War is no longer a threat, and there are some outdated words and references, but it is relevant and vital piece of writing for the state of our world today.
Beyond the Debate
We all have opinions about the latest news and hot topic issues like abortion, homosexuality and “going green.” It doesn’t take long for an argument to ensue when two headstrong people from opposing camps begin to debate the merits of their view. At some level, it is healthy for people to defend their point of view; however, it can become a tool for bullying when words turn to slander.
How You Doin?
The world is obsessed with status updates, sharing their feelings freely on the Web, but what does that do to our relationships in real life? Cindy Robert explores the idea of emotional exhibitionism and its implications for our social and emotional health.
Now I’m verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves. I’ll give you a topic…
“It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while [...]
Lost and Found
If a year ago you had told me — a semi-normal guy born and raised by missionary parents in the ways of the American evangelical — that I’d abandon my church of fifteen years, no longer be attending regular church services and entertaining Catholicism, well… I might have believed you, actually.

It takes a long time to kill a man
Fifty-five years at least
Until he breaks down

Getting up on that cross
Wanna know what this is all about
