Embracing Truth in Fiction
Posted on November 16, 2007 | 11 CommentsIn response to our recent podcast, Sniping for Christ, Seminarian writes: "Are we giving young adults and men further justification that they do not need to grow up? Later, an assertion is made that 'Movies touch on the deep things of life.' Sure, they might, but for many we would have to expose ourselves to sin first, and most teens don’t sit and ponder the questions afterwards anyway." -

Colossians Three Sixteen » “Engage” By Being
Posted on November 15, 2007 | 1 Comment“Engage” By Being: “Very many Christians who seem to be concerned with “engaging the culture” don’t actually seem to participate in culture.
