Maybe awful things is how God speaks to us, Vernon thought, trudging up the lightless tunnel. Maybe folks don’t trust in good things no more. Maybe awful things is all God’s got to remind us he’s alive. Maybe war is God come to life in men. Vernon pushed on toward the light of day. He stepped out onto the ledge and into the heat, and it felt like leaving a theater after the matinee had shown a sad film, the glare of sunshine after the darkness far too real to suffer. ↗

Like most Christians, I believe the Genesis account of creation is a description of six different stages of creation, each of which may have taken eons of time. ↗

Red Letter Christians believe in the doctrines of the Apostle's Creed, are convinced that the Scriptures have been inspired by the Holy Spirit, and make having a personal transforming relationship with the resurrected Christ the touchtone of their faith. ↗

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians. ↗

Christianity is not a theory or speculation, but a life; not a philosophy of life, but a life and a living process. ↗
