Then, it hit me. What would my statistic be among people who knew me, but did not know my background? What percentage of my acquaintances would know I am a Christian? I’m afraid, my numbers would probably be lower than Mr. Obama’s. Embarrassing to say? Of course.

Is worry eating you alive? Do you lay awake at night trying to figure out how to make it all work… Do you often look back fondly to when “things were easy” and when you didn’t have the worry you have now? Being worried about stuff, worried about things that are totally [...]

As a young person, I would read Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” I would trust those words because of the testimony of the one who wrote them. I trusted Paul. Why did I trust Paul?

How much of faith is wrapped up in emotion? I mean wrapped up. Elliot Gould in the movie "Capricorn One" was a reporter who lived out of a suitcase. He said, "I’m always unwrapping things. I wake up and take the cellophane off the drinking glass. The soap out of the Holiday Inn wrapper. [...]

There are others in history who have claimed a higher knowledge than what scripture plainly teaches. A sort of "New Gnosticism" (or Neognosticism) is the loosely associated movement called "Postmodern" [...]
