Your First Christmas
What if this was the Christmas you began to doubt your doubts, and instead, began to place confidence in the One who became the babe of Bethlehem? After all, what have your doubts ever done for you? Did your doubts come to earth to die for your sins and be your Savior? Are your doubts able to take you to heaven when you die?
Get Your 'Scrooge' On
You have probably heard the saying, "Get your Groove On." It means to get back in the flow of doing what you do best and enjoy it while you're at it. How about this one: "Get your 'Scrooge' On." You remember ol' Ebenezer from "A Christmas Carol"? He was visited by several ghosts who gave him a glimpse of his past, his present, and his future. It was a real wake-up call for a man who was on the wrong road.

Penn State and the Hideousness of Sin
Man in his natural state is extremely slow to recognize sin. It generally has to become intensely wicked for it to start to register on man's warped radar. When it reaches the level of depravity which is now known to have transpired for years at Penn State, it then becomes clear even to natural man that it is utterly evil. These sins against children at Penn State are truly sickening and repulsive to anyone whose conscience is not completely seared.
Which 'Jesus' Do You Accept?
Most people accept a particular "Jesus." Unless you are naive enough to think Jesus of Nazareth never existed, you accept him in your mind as either a religious prophet, a good teacher, or perhaps as your personal Savior. Islam teaches that Jesus was a messenger of God but that he was not crucified. That is one example of a particular "Jesus."
Bertrand Russell's Greatest Paradox was His Faith
Bertrand Russell was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, and social critic. He is recognized as one of the most important logicians of the 20th Century. He is also credited for showing that the naive set theory created by Georg Cantor leads to a contradiction. This is known as "Russell's paradox."
How Christians Can Avoid Tangents and Fanaticism
