Christianity
Through-out history there has been a great need for religious guidance. However today with the knowledge gained through science and technology people seem to be lost like an infant in the wild.

God and Future of Amercia
Peter Martino Expos Paper God is an all seeing, all hearing, and all knowing being that no one has really ever been in direct contact with.

A Christian View of Suffering
A consistent theme of mine is how critically important it is for us to have a foundational understanding about what Christianity is about. Most of us who have been in the church for a while know a few things: God loves us. Jesus forgives our sins. Unless you believe in Jesus you're going to Hell. We can have a relationship with God. We have these scattered bits of theological facts, but what we don't often
