Christianity and Hell

I have written several posts here on the concept of hell (although the only one I can find right now is this one). I was thinking about it again after watching this trailer of the movie “Come Sunday”: I think the only way to really make sense of hell is that the sinner in a […]

Jim Caveizel’s Moving Testimony

The actor who played Jesus in Mel Gibson’s “The Passion” tells a cool story from the set, and then makes some touching observations about the character of God.
