Rahab’s Lie.

In Joshua chapter 2 we read the story of how Rahab hid the two Hebrew spies from the soldiers that were searching for them.  In verses 4-6, we read how she lied to the soldiers to send them away so that the spies could sneak out later.  There are different theories regarding this, but this [...]

The Golden Compass

So what should Christian parents like myself do about this one?
If you don’t know, The Golden Compass is a new children’s movie that just came out based on a book by Phillip Pullman by the same name.  By all accounts, Pullman is a “devout” atheist dead set attacking anything Christian, apparently writing this book, and [...]
