What should you Trust? What should you Doubt?
I was in a waiting room and began to read the March cover story of National Geographic (available here) when I came across the following two sentences,
Swim at Your Own Risk! Sharks in the Water!
I hardly recognize the country I served honorably as a United States Marine (1995-2000). I hardly recognize the military of my beloved country, for that matter! What in the world is going on?
College Student or College President
What's the difference in a typical male college student these days and a college president?
Silver and Gold Have I None
As our church family studies through the Book of Acts together, we come this weekend to the first recorded healing after Pentecost (Acts 3).

Everyone's a Theologian
Yes, everyone is a theologian. R.C. Sproul offers a detailed explanation of the importance and role that theology plays in the Christian life. In Everyone's a Theologian R.C. Sproul explains some of the Bible's most important teachings in a readable and systematic fashion. His ability to make complex subjects understandable, and his careful handling of the Word of God make this an excellent resource. This significant theology introduction will aid any believer to apply Christian truths in their walk with Christ. It is a book about God, the Bible and the implications for our life. It is written by one of our days most careful thinkers. He is rightly referred to as a theologian, but in this book he calls every Christian a theologian, because theology is simply thinking about God. Everyone does it, but not everyone does it well. Everyone is a theologian and in this book Dr. Sproul invites every Christian to think about God carefully. The aim of the book is to make sure that our theology is in fact driven by the Word of God. Although he completely confuses the issue of baptism I can still gladly recommend the rest of the book. We plan to use this book in a future study at CBC so we want to encourage you to please go ahead and pick it up.
