  Charles Krauthammer and the Beginning of Wisdom

  I enjoy listening to Charles Krauthammer. This Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist brilliantly weaves together logic, common sense, and the principles of freedom. Yet for all of his dogmatism in the realm of politics, he doesn't spend much time discussing faith and religion.

  A Marriage Tune-Up Requires a Communication Tone Down

  Does God Really Want Everyone in Heaven?

  So if God really wants everyone in heaven forever, why does the Bible teach that many people won't end up there?

(1 Timothy 2:4) So does He or doesn't He?

  Blaming God for Worldwide Suffering Is Irrational
