Why that "most important election of our lifetimes" really doesn't matter.
The written/filmed tale of my baptism, 25 years to the day of my birth.
The best worship songs from Hillsong's vast collection. Or so I say.
Out of all the books of the Bible, Ecclesiastes is by far the most meaningless of them all.
I've read many great books in my time; here's the best ones I've never set eyes on.
Suddenly, calling someone "brother" takes on elevated meaning.
Since the inception of this blog, I’ve been doing these little top-11 countdowns. They’ve actually grown to be not so “little,” as my first top-11 Hillsong United countdown remains my most viewed post of all-time.
