French philosopher Blaise Pascal observed: "In every person’s life there is a God-shaped vacuum." Each of us tries to fill that vacuum with a god of some sort. Christians are almost atheists.

The world is rapidly changing. Among those changes are people’s views toward religion. While it used to be choice between Methodist, Baptist, Christian Church, etc., people now find themselves trying to decide between Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc.

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Feb 13, 2004

Dead People Can't Change? Series

Contributed by Clyde White on Jul 23, 2005

Over time, questions are expressed whether as a direct inquiry or by many other means. Some of these questions have a direct effect on our Christian life, our Bible knowledge and the church function. Because our series on Redemption has been interrupted by vacation, and other things, I thought it ...read more
