Toward A Better View Of ‘Icky Bits,’ Part 1

Yes, “icky bits” might improve Christian fiction, but not for the reasons some critics might assume. · E. Stephen Burnett

The Christian Writer And The Trends

Students and teachers alike, apparently, are embracing “the role that the arts and education can play in galvanizing people around an issue.” · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Keeping It Real

Too often, I suspect, the subject of sex and marriage is avoided rather than fleshed out in most Christian fiction. This is not an effective counter to secular values on the subject regularly plastered in mainstream speculative fiction. · R. L. Copple

What Brings God Glory?

When believers say that the “chief end of man” is to “glorify God and enjoy Him forever,” I have to wonder if “glorify God” in that context means the default position—i.e., do nothing because your existence, as God created you, glorifies Him. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

But ‘Game Of Thrones’ Still Has Porn In It

Do we just pretend the TV series doesn’t have live, actual naked porn? Is that how it is? · E. Stephen Burnett

Marital Reality In Fiction

We don’t counter the excesses of secular morals about sex by ignoring sex, but by showing it in its proper context. · R. L. Copple

When Christians Review

My fear is that we Christians are slipping down the same path the people of Israel took. They had a relationship with God and they had His Law, but they wanted so to be like the nations around them. So they began to compromise. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

No More

Christians have a hope beyond this sinful age of earth — and beyond even the present Heaven. · E. Stephen Burnett

The Plowing Of Hades

When we speculate, it becomes a story. When God speculates, it becomes reality. · R. L. Copple

On Raising A Family Of Nerds

My wife and I grew up nerds but tried to raise our family differently — until our rules changed. · Allan Reini

Satan Is For Real, Or What Became Of The White Witch?

Above all Satan wants people to shrink their view of God. That’s his great lie: God is not so great after all. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Evangelizing Entertainment

I’d tend to evaluate the movie Noah like any speculative fiction story in relation to my faith: What picture of God and man is painted for me when taken as a whole? · R. L. Copple

Noah, Speculative Fiction, And The Biblical Narrative

Not every Biblical account lends itself well to fictionalization. The backbone of fiction is conflict. While there certainly is a fair amount of conflict in the various individual narratives in Scripture, some are nothing more than a snapshot of God working. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

The God Who Hides

About fifteen years ago, when I was attending Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, I had the privilege of taking a course entitled “The Gospel and C. S. Lewis” from a man we called Rev. Rossow. Essentially, the course was a […] · John Otte

What Are You Longing For?

We long for that special feeling we once had, but can never regain. We long to hold once more the family and friends who’ve gone before us, but they are gone and never to be held this side of heaven. · Robert Treskillard

Christian Fiction = ???

Christian Fiction = (faith * imagination)2 / audience. Too complicated? Watch R. L. Copple attempt to unravel it. · R. L. Copple

Being Blessed By All The Fiction Crazy

Despite Christians’ fiction craziness, our crazy-generous God keeps giving to the undeserving. · E. Stephen Burnett

Are You Your Body?

“You are not your body” is a sentiment that gets tossed around a lot in Christian circles, this idea that we are merely temporarily enfleshed souls. · John Otte

Getting A Little Tired Of All The Fiction Crazy

Sometimes I wonder why we advocate better stories for Christians who do not “deserve” them. · E. Stephen Burnett

Redefining Creationism

The focus on evolution vs. creation distracts from what Genesis 1 actually teaches. · R. L. Copple
