I Am Grateful He Is Gone

Last updated on: November 14, 2014 at 4:42 pm By Deborah Arca

By Scott LeRette Author, The Unbreakable Boy: A Father’s Fear, A Son’s Courage, and A Story of Unconditional Love This last August my son, Richard Austin, went to college. We’d always thought the empty nest would be so easy and so welcome—for Teresa, Logan, and me. Living with Austin is more challenging than I can possibly explain here. For almost twenty years, every day in our house meant (pick one) a broken bone, a meltdown, a surprise trip to the... Read more

The Atheist Awakening and the Internet

Last updated on: November 14, 2014 at 4:15 pm By Guest Contributor

By Richard Cimino and Christopher Smith Authors, Atheist Awakening Does atheism have a special affinity with the Internet? It can seem so when considering the large number of web sites, blogs and online forums devoted to secularism (our term for atheism, secular humanism, and other kinds of non-theism). But it is more than just the number of web sites; secularists have used the Internet as an important means of activism in a way that both encourages consciousness-raising and creates a... Read more

Jesus Loved Children, We Should Too: A Review of Their Name Is Today

Last updated on: November 6, 2014 at 2:21 pm By David Swartz

Now Featured at the Patheos Book Club Their Name Is Today: Reclaiming Childhood in a Hostile World By Johann Christoph Arnold Jesus loved children. Mark 10:13-14 tells the story of Jesus chewing on the disciples because they would not allow mothers to bring their children to Him so He could lay their hands on them. Maybe my best mental picture of Jesus and children comes not directly from Scripture but from a film – “Gospel Road”, produced by Johnny Cash.... Read more

Worried to Death: Amy Simpson’s “Anxious” and the Sin of Worry

Last updated on: November 6, 2014 at 10:50 am By Amber Stamper

Most Christians are well aware of what Scripture has to say about worry. Our Pinterest boards and Facebook timelines testify to it: image after image of serene sunrises, placid oceans, fair skies, and green meadows is emblazoned with delicate cursive script reminding us to “Be anxious for nothing,” to “Fear not,” to “Cast all [our] cares on God,” and “Do not worry about tomorrow.” We understand and believe, in theory, that worry is a lack of faith. And yet, as... Read more
