Why Everyone Should Be Religious

Even at the heights of scientific materialism, there has always been a strong argument contained within the work of science and what science has revealed for believing that the universe is not accidental—that the universe was fashioned, was made, was intended to exist.

Choose Christ

Why choose Christ?  Because He is real!  He is the most real thing in this world.  He is “in all and through all things”—the “light and life” of the whole world, and of your individual world and mine.

“Ears to Hear”
