About Wisdom

One of the things I hear most often from readers is that they are unsure what they should do and don’t know how to find out. Even if they think they know, they have no assurance it is the right thing, or at least something God would approve of.
It’s often asked in the question “how [...]

The Shack

I posted a review of  “The Shack” about a year ago, but the requests for my evaluation of this book still continue regularly.

A few of you have let us know about a couple of blogs and forums that are trashing us.
As usual, I’m getting called a bigot and racist, someone who “obviously doesn’t read his Bible”, just a man pretending to be a conservative so I can be popular. I’m a blowhard full of self-important blathering… [...]

What questions do you have about faith, the Bible, the [...]

Question: Are We Healed by Jesus Stripes?
