“Saving Truth” — Book Excerpt

April 18, 2018 by Excerpts

Increasingly, Western culture embraces confusion as a virtue and decries certainty as a sin. Those who are confused about sexuality and identity are viewed as heroes. Those who are confused about spirituality are praised as tolerant. Conversely, those who express certainty are seen as bigoted, oppressive, arrogant, or intolerant. In Saving Truth, Murray seeks to awaken Westerners to the plight we find ourselves in. He also challenges Christians to consider how they have played a part in fostering the culture of confusion through bad arguments, unwise labeling, and emotional attacks.

“The Zombie Gospel” – Book Excerpt

April 11, 2018 by Danielle Strickland

We are at an unprecedented time in history. Never has there been a generation closer to the end of the world than today. Global warming threatens the earth.

Madeleine L’Engle and the Extremely Broken World, Part I: Out of Order

April 6, 2017 by Harman Thomas

“Order” is not a word that we relish all too much. It comes with images of armies marching all apace, of monotony and rigidity, like a cultural straight coat. Order seems to ruin all the fun, sticking us in the same old place, doing the same old things, the same old way we’ve always done them.

The World of Tolkien, Returning

March 2, 2017 by Bryana Fern

Lovers of Middle-earth may feel that with the Hobbit films being long concluded now, and rumors of a future Silmarillion film being dismantled, that there may not be much left to milk out of our favorite Lord of the Rings stories. But the past few months have included big news for Tolkien fans.
