I’ve never ventured to share this story before. It’s one of my my “naked faith” experiences I had while on the mission field in Asia. As you will see (if you bear with me through the long narrative) it is “Outside the Box” of normal human experience, at least in the...

I finally mustered the courage this week to buck all the “don’t bother to see it” hype (from fellow Christians) and saw the movie Noah. Frankly, I was impressed with it on a number of levels. OK, I will admit I found the use of rock men to convey the concept of...
