God Will Not Call You into Something He Has Already Called You Out Of
“How do I share Christ with someone who is an agnostic?” a college student asked after a talk I gave last month at a church in Oklahoma.

They constantly pound the support-raising pavement. They pack up family, travel to a foreign land, and start a new life. And they don’t walk away from Christianity. Except when they do.
Brittni's Story: When All You Know Gets Put to the Test
Dear Friend, Ideas have consequences. What we believe about God and the world is ultimately manifested in our day-to-day life. Yes, I’ve said this before but sometimes it’s difficult to make the connection. It isn’t always clear exactly how. Well, Brittni’s life makes it a bit clearer. And more powerful.
