In this Youtube video, Dr. Ann Gauger of the Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based think-tank for Intelligent Design, talks about the evolutionary time frames needed to get from an ape to a human.

7. That Which I See Not Teach Thou Me The knowledge which you have of yourself, or of your inner existence differs according to its source; a part of it you acquired yourself, and a part of it you received from God. If you ask wherein these two parts of your self-knowledge differ, then call […]

6. Hearken Unto Me, My People. Give Heed To Me, O Lord! In times past it was commonly believed that sound itself came from the throat, and that its power was but limited. Hence a word could only be heard at a short distance, farther away it could not be heard, and so we were […]

Look at all of these lost souls. There must be some way of getting through to them! But they’re bored with the gospel. They’ve heard it plenty of times before, and they just don’t care about the message of salvation by grace through faith. The church needs a new approach for a new generation… I […]

4. In The Covert Of Thy Wings THE deepest question that governs our Christian life is that which touches our personal fellowship with God.
