Time to Visit That Hideous Strength Again
If you want a glimpse of how evil captures and shapes the heart, read C. S. Lewis' book "That Hideous Strength." It is the last installment of what is usually referred to as "The Space Trilogy."

Can We Trust Prophecy?
Can we trust prophecy? Some people caution against it. Over the years there have been various attacks mounted on the study of prophecy.

The Happiness of God and the Trinity
The happiness of God and the Trinity isn't something that is often discussed by Christians. How many of us think ever about a happy God? It is important to think about it.

On Aslan and the Reading of Many Books
On Aslan and the reading of many books - "going forward" I'll (hopefully) be buying fewer and reading more books. This sounds somewhat contradictory. But it makes sense in my personal situation. I am that classic Bookworm. Yet over the years my focus has changed. I need to rethink my strategy. New Age, … [Read more...]
Spiritual Warfare with the Invisible World
Did you know that we are in Spiritual Warfare with the Invisible World? This has been the theme of several previous posts at Zeteo3:16.
