How can a loving God send people to Hell?
I never much cared for hell. The idea of a loving God sending people to a place of eternal punishment always sounded overly-harsh and inconsistent with the character of a God who loves us enough to create us and sacrifice his Son for us.

Book Review: Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl

Open Letter to the Cypress Meadows Arts Team

I thought you might want to know about some of the ways God used and blessed your generosity.
