How you think changes everything
In his Origin of Species (1859), Charles Darwin states the discovery of fossil records require slowly changing life from one animal species to another different species by means of natural selection.[1] His theory of evolution speculates that all life comes from one common ancestor at the base of his “tree of life” pattern, and branches […]

The Mosaics (or Millennial generation) feel a huge disconnect from today’s traditional church. Three primary reasons why this is happening, according to some surveys, are: access, alienation and authority.[1] 1) Access: unlimited access to other worldviews—because of the Internet, technology is fueling the rapid pace of change, and a disconnection between the past and the […]

In the mid-twentieth century, C.S. Lewis is deeply troubled by the reductionistic efforts forming in society. Were men nothing but the sum of their physical parts?

I was baptized as an infant, but my parents did it mostly out of tradition. We rarely went to church after that, and I would surmise my infant baptism meant little to my parents (maybe to my mom).
