Basic facts about the books in the New Testament – Helpful to refer to, since the reliability of the Bible and what’s in it today is commonly the question posed by skeptics.
The atheist’s dilemma – Jordan Monge shares how she gradually turned from skeptic to a follower of Jesus. I’m encouraged that while she did see the intellectual inconsistency of atheism (e.g. believing in right and wrong as objective, universal categories with no reference point), it was her reading the Bible and being confronted with her sin and the Cross that softened her heart.

A dramatic weight loss story – This Seven Sharp clip is so encouraging to watch. Cliff Wadsworth is Pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church, and friends with some of the HBC family.
