    How do you handle what God has given you? Is it okay to buy from companies that use sweatshops or mistreat their employees? What role do Christians have in that area?

Prophets were not popular people, most of them met untimely deaths, but prophets were the people that God used to speak ...read more

Some of these choices have larger consequences than others. For starters, who we choose to surround ourselves with, where we live, who we worship, ...read more
