Two ways we approach God.

Our souls are always in motion. Sometimes, we move toward truth. Other times, we are repelled by lies. Either way brings us closer to God. Evangelism, then, should not focus solely, as it usually does, on the goodness of God. We also have to let others know about the wages of sin. Each human soul […]

Many in the west are surprised that terrorists are coming from the grandchildren of immigrants to their countries.
