Unifying and renewing a divided life: bridging the divide

from Christian Concern: As the West gradually drifts from its Christian roots, how can we reconnect society not just with a personal salvation, but an all-encompassing Christian worldview that reaches every area of life?

The great unraveling and our great hope

by Tim Wildman, Christian Post: We live in desperate times, don’t we? Sometimes I catch myself thinking that this must be the worst time in all of history. That’s why I was fascinated to read that one medieval historian picked the year A.D. 536 as history’s worst year. That’s when a volcanic eruption in Iceland flung Europe, parts of the Middle East, and Asia into 18 months of plunging temperatures, fog so thick that the sun could not be seen, dying crops, and starvation.
