Does God cause or allow miracles in religions other than Christianity?
Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims -- even agnostics and atheists -- occasionally experience positive events in their lives that may seem like supernatural intervention. Is God behind this -- and if so, doesn't this encourage such people to persist in their spiritual error?

Dealing with the guilt of abortion
Here are just two of the many reader responses we received about Greg's lead article,"No Condemnation -- Even for Those Who Have Had Abortions!" in the February 22 PTM e-Update.

Why would a good Christian tempt another to sin?
A reader is introduced to Jesus and Christianity by a friend -- the same friend who later attempts to entice the reader into some un-Christian activities.

Thinking like Pat Robertson
"Pat Robertson’s comments about the terrible Haitian earthquake shocked many, but not me," confesses writer Glen Moyer. "That’s because I used to think like him." Find out what's inside the head of one of the most powerful media moguls in Christendom.
