    If we are going to "walk the walk" and live for Jesus, we must dig into the Word of God.

    Walking the Walk Introduction An old DC Talk song starts out by suggesting that the number one cause of atheism in our country today is Christians, who confess Jesus with their lips but deny him by their lifestyles.

    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,233 views

    This is an article I wrote for an online journal. It’s a devotional based on the question asked about Aslan: Is he safe? The answer was : No, but he’s good. That’s God’s plans for us too: not safe but good.

That’s funny because Narnia was written by a man who worked hard to make his Christian faith known ...read more
