★★★ The story of Christmas like you've never heard before ★★★ The Bible teaches us the real story of Christmas. The problem is people have taken this story and added on to it. Cultures have added on to it. It's passed through countries, and they've tacked on their little spin. We have thousands of years of a Christmas that is built around legends and myths. The Christmas we know is, in places, more a fairytale. It's an inspiring one...

La mayoría ha llegado a la conclusión de que el Libro de Job fue probablemente el primer libro escrito.Piénsalo:...

The Bible Never Says It Will Be Okay.
The Bible is largely silent on the topic of grief, which surprises most people; contrary to popular belief, the Bible never says things will be okay-that the pastures greener on the other side. Further, the Bible never says God won't give us anything we can't handle. That's a proverb man made up.
When it seems hopeless, there's a reason: this might be a trial we cannot handle. It's natural to feel bleak about...

If Generation Next is supposed to question everything and trust no one, where does faith fit in? Consumers demand that their food be pesticide-free, their cosmetics and shampoo be paraben-free, and that everything possible—from clothes to toilet paper-be made without additives or chemicals. But there's nothing that has more additives to the original product than Christianity. How do we get back to the 100% organic version of Jesus? In his personal...

Jesus rose. But Christ didn't just rise from the dead. He ascended to Heaven.
We hear the stories about Peter and John and all the heroes of the New Testament, and they're unstoppable Christians-fearless and bold. And sometimes we wrongly assume that they just got that way.

We all know the story of creation in the Bible. In the beginning, God created. But what if creation isn't where things started? Not in the Bible anyway. What if the first book of the Bible wasn't about creation…it was about pain.
Scholars have debated for years about what the first book of the Bible really is. Most have concluded that the Book of Job was probably the first book written.
Think about that: what if the message God wanted us to receive...

A witty, sincere look at modern Christianity. American Christians are constantly bombarded by images and messages that claim to represent true Christianity. But learning how to argue against the latest liberal transgression, embracing the current Christian media darling, or even singing the right Christian music won't translate into an unshakable, authentic belief in Jesus Christ as Savior. When Scott Douglas found that his own image of Jesus was...
