    Luke 1:5-25 – Christmas Time is Fear Today we are beginning our Christmas series. We are looking, for the next 4 weeks, at the issue of fear.

  • Narnia: Is The Lion Safe?

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Dec 8, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,476 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.

    Is the Lion Safe? I’ve been a fan of the Chronicles of Narnia for several years now. What’s funny about it is that it was recommended to me by a friend of mine who is decidedly not a believer. That’s funny because Narnia was written by a man who worked hard to make his Christian faith known ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
