Whatever Happened to the Resurrection?’ - Crossmap Christian News | Church & Ministries: "Have you ever wondered how much thought is given to commemorating lent and remembering the death of Christ and how much we actually think about when Jesus rose from the dead and how crucial that momentous event is to the whole gospel story?

"Whatever Happened to the Resurrection?" by Dr. Robert R. Dawson, challenges us to consider the fact that as amazing as Christ's sacrifice on the cross is, without the resurrection, the gospel is not the Good News."

How Christians Should React to Bill Maher's Shocking Statements

How Christians Should React to Bill Maher's Shocking Statements: "Every time comedian and talk show host Bill Maher blasts Christianity, calls Christians idiots or describes God as a “psychopathic mass murderer” the web lights up.

Religious news sites like Christian Post, Charisma News or the Christian section of Huffington Post carry the story with headlines expressing shock, and their readers dutifully respond with hysterical blog posts by the thousands. Maher's abrasive comments become the big subject on Christian radio and TV programs, and callers express outrage. All of which is exactly what Maher wants."
