“As an atheist, I truly believe Africa needs God”

Matthew Parris in an article in The Times:

Penn Says: A Gift of a Bible

Penn says:
I don’t respect people who don’t proselytize. If you believe that there’s a heaven and hell, and people could be going to hell, and you think, ‘Well, it’s not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward’… How much do you have to hate somebody not to proselytize?

Should Christians Favour Other Christians?

Galations 6:6-10    (ESV)
6 One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but [...]

Who gets the gifts at a birthday party?

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools…Trying to live in God’s world while striving against him is the ultimate exercise in frustration and futility. While choosing to ignore the wisdom [...]
