I wonder what C. S. Lewis would say about the way academics are going about now a days? They seem to being going in all directions without any boundaries. Me hungry, me going to sleep.
My name is Matt, that is Matt, I am nothing other than that, please just call me Matt.

When once Matt was called fat, Matt replied back that Matt was not that, fat is not Matt, nor was Matt fat, since fat being fat and Matt being Matt, and that is just that.

God Bless Tracy for giving us such a wonderful place to come together and communicate. Every different culture has a beautiful unique way of expressing God's love in music and style of preaching that it is wonderful to see here; yet we are united as the body in Christ in spirit and love. God Bless you Tracy.

Even if you lose and argument with an atheist or Muslim. What has changed? Although Christians have always gave the best answers to all the most important questions, you cannot be expected to have the right answer all the time. When you ask Muslims to question there faith you make sure to show them you have done the same with your own. You are grounded in the Truth of God's word.
I am slowly learning about joy in the Christian life and how that works with being solid in the Faith.

But after doing much study on how strong the case for Christianity is, I have learned you do not need to be so tough. You can be very loving and truthful at the same time.
