From Lesbianism to Follower of Christ

David Qaoud interviews Emily Thomes about her story of coming to Christ.

We’re Not Independent

Paul Tripp: “One of the sad results of sin is that it causes all of us, at some time and in some way, to buy into the delusion of independence. Independence is what the serpent sold Adam and Eve, and it’s the false reward that the enemy continues to wave in front of each one of us.”

The Skeptic’s Guide to C.S. Lewis

Dan DeWitt: “Since I teach a class on Lewis I often get the question, ‘What Lewis book(s) should I recommend to my atheist friend?’. It’s a really good question, particularly since some Christians have described C.S.L. as making it possible for them to be an intellectually fulfilled believer.”

    The Victim of a Grave Injustice

    Joseph was the victim of a grave injustice. Though he was a righteous man, he was being treated like an unrighteous one. Though he was pure, he was being treated like a convict.
