It fits to glorify God - it not only fits reality, because God is infinitely and supremely praiseworthy, but it fits us as nothing else does. All the beauty we have looked for in art or faces or places - and all the love we have looked for in the arms of other people - is only fully present in God himself. And so in every action by which we treat him as glorious as he is, whether through prayer, singing, trusting, obeying, or hoping, we are at once giving God his due and fulfilling our own design.

Christmas means Jesus came down and got involved in suffering. He hears your cries.

It is because of the doctrine of judgment and hell that Jesus' proclamations of grace and love are so astounding.

We should let Scripture interpret us more than we interpret Scripture.

I am a Christian resident of New York City. I simply read things the other Manhattanites read (NY Times, New Yorker magazine, Wall Street Journal, and many of the books they read) plus all my Christian reading. I don't do anything special to understand skeptics. I also talk to a lot of skeptics and read things they point to.

All Christians have opportunities to serve those who might never come to church or listen to a sermon.
