American Politics and the Christian
D. Kevin Brown has an interesting essay written as he watched the most recent Republican debate. I think a key sentence is this: The only way to change a person is on the inside. Read Kevin’s post and comment.

Mohammad El-Tebow
I read an interesting editorial this morning at Fox News: What If Tim Tebow Were A Muslim? The author suggests that the frequent mockery he receives would be largely absent if he were a devout Muslim instead of a devout Christian: Imagine for a second, the Denver Broncos quarterback is a devout follower of Islam,…

The Nature of Hope
by Edward W. H. Vick If the man of Old Testament days were asked how he had come by his understanding of the world, how it was that he had come to have a standpoint on the meaning of reality, there would be little question as to how he would answer the query, after it…
