What Happened to All the Gods?

What does the Bible say about gods and goddesses, demons and devils, magic and spiritualists? Are the Nephilim important to the conversation? Are the gods still around, still important, even when they are mentioned less? · Travis Perry

Why Does ‘I Can Only Imagine’ Back Away from Redemption?

Don’t Let Halloween Mock the Resurrection

Do our Halloween tropes make fun of serious death, or exchange resurrection light for undead darkness? · E. Stephen Burnett

Who can deny the appeal of superheroes? The story of humanity is filled with them, real and mythical. Hercules, Genghis Khan, Joan of Arc, Paul Bunyan, Malala…the list goes on.

Sometimes they conquer, sometimes they save. Some build mighty empires, some hear the cries of the weak and helpless. · Mark Carver
