Hell is a question to meet slowly: what love is, who does the sending, what Christians have taught, and what none of us may say about the dead.
Look or See
People stand in the same place and look at the same thing yet see different realities, so faith begins with sight only God can give.
No Other Branch

Nobody Is Coming to Save You
Nigeria keeps waiting for a leader or an election to end the waiting, while Scripture asks a people to rebuild the wall in front of them.
One Gospel, Many Rooms
Why claims of tens of thousands of denominations say less than they seem to, and how to tell a family argument from a real fracture.

The God Who Draws in Curves
A famous problem in mathematics shows that the shortest road is not always the quickest, and Scripture says the same about the roads God chooses for his people.
