“The evolution of God” is both a modern and ancient blasphemy.

Parents often ask their children questions. Some are productive – “What did you learn in school today?” Some are inane – “How many times do I have to tell you….” Some questions are not even real questions – “Son, do you want to take out the garbage?” My mother actually asked me that! When I […]

Prison – not a pleasant subject, but nevertheless still a former or current reality for some believers. Others – never imprisoned – should have been, but escaped their proper penalty due to either God’s gracious attention or man’s negligent inattention. Most, if not all, of us are nevertheless in prison – and that is the […]
