By Michael Sherrard It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels. —SAINT AUGUSTINE The Limits of Our Knowledge You don’t know everything. Nobody knows everything. Not even your condescending, skeptical coworker or classmate who has made you feel intellectually inferior for believing in God. So fear not. A […]
By Natasha Crain The most popular post on my blog is one I wrote last year called, The Number One Sign Your Kids are Just Borrowing Your Faith (and Not Developing Their Own). That post has been read by more than 80,000 people and shared almost 14,000 times. Clearly it resonated deeply with people. So what […]
By Tim Stratton Nothing is more exciting than examining the historical evidence of the resurrection of Jesus.
