The Cost of Reconciliation

New and Improved? A PC Bible
C.G.G. Weekly; Posted 2/15/2002

Welfare and Christianity
C.G.G. Weekly; Posted 1/24/2002
It is beyond question that Christians should be compassionate toward the needy. We are to lend a hand to those who have stumbled. But how far does this go?

Discounting the Bible
C.G.G. Weekly; Posted 1/11/2002
The Bible needs no authentication from scholars, historians, or archeologists. The Bible proves itself true every time a sinner turns from his wicked ways.

A Christian Nation?
C.G.G. Weekly; Posted 1/4/2002

Dare to Be Different!
C.G.G. Weekly; Posted 12/27/2001
God's invitation really complicates matters in terms of fitting in to society. Being holy means being set apart -- being different.

Remember the Christians

Moses, Prince of Egypt
C.G.G. Weekly; Posted 12/14/2001
Moses could have ruled all of Egypt. This makes his sacrifice of 'refus[ing] to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,' all the more remarkable.

Moses, Psalmist (Part 4)
C.G.G. Weekly; Posted 12/7/2001

Moses, Psalmist (Part 2)

What can we do about these conspiracies? We only have control over the big, Satanic one. The other plots and schemes are distractions and time-wasters.
