A Poem of My Own: The Seven Circles of Eternity’s Garden (Circles 1 and 2)

The Didache (The Early Church Fathers Series: Part 6)

The next stop on our journey through the Early Church Fathers is another anonymous document called The Didache: The Teaching of the Lord According to the 12 Apostles.

A Random Post Today on “Teaching Biblical Worldview” (and what a true Christian worldview is)

Back in 2003, when I took a job at a small Christian high school in Arkansas, I was introduced to the concept of “teaching Biblical Worldview.” Now, I was hired at that time mostly to teach English, but I was also asked to teach a class of Senior Worldview, which essentially sort of a Western…
