Hospitable Evangelism
Perhaps one of the most lamentable things about the church today is the state of evangelism. The steady decline of Christianity in the West is very noticeable as less and less people identify as Christians. This is a point easily proven to most people with just anecdotal evidence, but statistics also validate these claims. A […]

There are some phrases I will never understand in this life. If it is because of a butchery of the English language or because of serious foundational worldview differences, I may never know. One such phrase goes something like this: “If there is a God…” -Atheists I have tried to dissect this a few ways, […]
