Publisher’s Description: One of the most popular and beloved introductions to the concept of faith ever written, Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide. The book brings together C. S. Lewis’s legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to “explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times.” Rejecting the boundaries that divide Christianity’s many denominations, Mere Christianity provides an unequalled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to absorb a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith.

With all the details related to “Jezebel” and the “Morning Star”, I’m not sure how helpful it was to our church, but I pray that God can use it for His glory as we await Christ’s return. He is, after all, strong in my weakness!

The Burden and Blessing of Pursuing Ordination

I’m currently in the process of seeking ordination in the Evangelical Free Church of America. Actually, in one sense, I’ve been in this process since 2006. The EFCA has a two-tier ministerial credentialing process that requires those seeking Ordination to first be “Licensed” for ministry. Continue reading
