Posted on July 23, 2017September 2, 2017 by Matt

Note: This post is a point-form summary for a small group discussion that I compiled from the last section, “Real, Eternal Value Intended by the Original Authors”, of my previous post Answering Genesis 1 and 2 Contradiction Claims.

Posted on November 28, 2014December 9, 2014 by Matt

Is this the ultimate Christian love song?

Posted on December 7, 2013October 4, 2015 by Matt

Ever since I made a concerted effort to explore the Christian music scene, and discover the “good music” that I knew was out there, I’ve been aware of the controversy of Christian love songs. Controversy? Yes, in between the awkward attempts and lame lyrics, there were a number of good sounding attempts (for their time),…
