Sunnie Kahle is an 8-year-old girl. But in the eyes of the staff at Timberlake Christian Schools, she dressed and acted more like a boy.

Richard Sherman’s unsportsmanlike behavior is unacceptable

The man of the hour as the Superbowl approaches has been Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman. He’s been all over TV, talked about and interviewed over and over.

Why Atheism Is Bad News

Atheists are becoming very aggressive in their efforts to recruit people to their faith. In fact, they are engaging more and more in the kind of outreach that if done by Christians, would be called evangelism. But, although they are definitely proselytizing, what atheists do cannot be called evangelism at all. That’s because “evangelizing” has… Read More »
