I’m calling you from the casino!
(Editor’s note: So often we find that people stay clear of the church simply because they don’t understand what the Bible is all about. But when there is understanding, there is life transformation.) One of our staff had the opportunity to preach at church one Sunday morning. He chose John 1:29 as the key verse […]
Me no English!

How do you explain the Bible’s truth in a way that they can understand? Learn how George used the Worldview Rethink tools to do […]
God used his magic wand!
(Editor’s note: When we create our tools, we do our best to ensure the text itself explains the gospel clearly. Even a young person who can read aloud can lead another through the gospel. This is Jessie’s story.) Gloria’s* seven-year-old daughter, Jessie, recently started asking questions like “Who made the world? Where did people come […]
Why wouldn’t I believe!
