Clearly Seen: Paul’s Appeal to Natural Revelation

“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world […]

Finding Glenn

“Herb, Glenn is missing.” My mother’s phone call induced an immediate tension in my chest. Glenn, my oldest brother by eighteen years, was last seen stepping onto a bus on Crenshaw Boulevard just north of Interstate 10 in Los Angeles and hadn’t been heard from again for days. It was […]
