The Science Behind the Assurance of Salvation
Some Christians know they are going to heaven. Other Christians are pretty sure they are going there.

How to Have a Thriving Intimacy With God
You can have a thriving ministry without a thriving relationship with God, but only temporarily. Anyone can fake it in the short run, but to go the distance, you need a passionate devotional life and continual closeness to Jesus.

Why Is the Pro-Life Message Winning and Traditional Marriage Losing?

Since Roe vs. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion 40 years ago, anti-abortion activists have successfully passed legislation regulating and restricting the right to an abortion, and they have been successful at moving public opinion in their direction.

Given that the pro-life and pro-marriage causes are two of the core issues of social conservatives, or the Christian Right social movement, why is the former winning and the latter losing?
