Sometimes, in the midst of arguments and proofs, we miss the importance of conversation. These questions, then, are meant to be a part of a conversation. They are not, in and of themselves, arguments or “proofs” for God. They...

The Prince of Preachers

deathbybillions: 3 reasons why Spurgeon is still relevant. 1. Spurgeon was an ‘urban missionary’. As much as I hate that term, if you define it the same way that I do, than yes, Spurgeon was an urban missionary. 2. Spurgeon struggled with depression. A lot. Myself and many of my brothers/sisters battle these dark emotions. There is relief in knowing that someone the Lord used so...

But really the idea of this blog is about how write what’s the thought process. For me I feel these 3 things I try to make present in my writing: Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Truth: 1.

With this part of me, I’m a Philosopher and Sociologist (I got...
