Long before there were Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris, there was Bertrand Russell. 

I think the following story (which we double-checked and appears to be true), along with the video, has particular significance for us as Christians. 

I have long been concerned about the tendency for Bible believing Christians to confuse conservativism and speaking “Christian language” with a true relationship and walk with Jesus Christ.

People are different. Anyone with a tendency toward violence—and certainly that can be furthered by watching violence—should NOT watch shows with violence.

Articles, websites, and books to help you share your faith in Jesus with Mormons.

What’s at stake in this issue is not merely different ideas on how we relate to culture or live out and share the faith—what is at stake is the faith itself, historic Christianity.
