Question 2: What is Truth?
[One reminder - we are trying to stick with short, succinct responses to the questions. I understand that this one was a bit more difficult than "What is the gospel?", but the goal is to be able to give answers that are no longer than 3-5 sentences]

Question 1: What is the gospel?
Thank you for participating in the first question, “What is the gospel?” I think it turned out about as good as I was hoping - there were many different views shared, some conversation, and hopefully it made you stop and think for a few minutes about the good news of [...]

August 21, 2005

This is beautiful. I was chatting with my buddy Andrew tonight and he had some thoughts on Jesus and sex. So, his thoughts are below - but the above graphic work is of course his…and beautiful:
Everyone’s laughing about the freak who’s the 40-year-old virgin, and who doesn’t think he’s a freak. And yet, Christians worship [...]

May 18, 2005
