The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Galileo wasn't an atheist.

The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: Galileo wasn't an atheist.: ""Galileo was censured by the church, and he's far from the only example.

The Alabama Baptist - A Resource for Christian Living

The Alabama Baptist - A Resource for Christian Living: "I am laying aside our weekly study of the book of Acts to do something I rarely do on Sunday mornings: address the most discussed issue of this moment.

Gay "marriage" is being thrust upon us constantly by the media and in our courts. A message this week by Lee Strobel challenged pastors to equip their people to respond to the challenges to our faith. I felt impelled by the Holy Spirit to preach this sermon — not necessarily to spark debate on this issue, but to help the Christian in the pew know how to respond when this issue is raised.

Too often we Christians are known more for what we are against than who we are for. We are for people."
