When one of you has a dispute with another believer, how dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers! Don’t you realize that someday we believers will judge the world? And since you are going to judge...

One of the most tragic things we are seeing today is the all-to-common display of being religious without God. I wrote about Christian Atheists several years ago, and I emphasized the issue of letting God be our Savior, but we do everything else as though God does...
