Christ’s resurrection: fact, not fiction
November 16, 2011
The last two weeks I’ve been addressing the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the evidence for it. So far, we’ve seen that it is something so wonderful and so real that the apostles were willing to die very painful deaths for it. They would not have done so ...
No proof in theory of Disciple theft
November 09, 2011
Last week, I started a series of articles on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the historical evidence for it. In last week’s article I addressed the theory that says the apostles lied about it to have fame and fortune. As a recap, they were all (except John) killed ...

Friendship requires responsibility
September 14, 2011
Webster's dictionary defines "friend" as "one attached to another by affection or esteem." That's a pretty shallow and incomplete definition. The definition for a true friend is far deeper. So, what makes a friend and why do those things matter?
One of the most common statements about friendship ...
Revisiting day no one can forget
September 07, 2011
The TV screen has been announcing specials about Sept. 11, 2001 for weeks now. The 10-year anniversary of that day that changed history is this coming Sunday. Everyone who is old enough remembers exactly what they were doing, what class they were in, whether they were driving or already at ...
