    If our society is so sophisticated that it is tolerant of what was once known as sin, why do we still have so much depression, fatigue, illness, and violence? Is there a prescription for the underlying guilt?

And if Freud was correct that all of our guilt can be tied to repression, why is it that our society of tolerance and acceptance ...read more

    When we read about righteous men and women of the Bible, such as King David, Father Abraham, even Rahab (a former prostitute!), we tend to forget their shortcomings and trick ourselves into believing that goodness and perfection determine how close we are to God! Illustrate the story of Moses at ...read more
