How can I get closer to God and feel him -- like Mack did in The Shack?
How do you know when you're truly "hearing God's voice"? Will you suddenly feel some sort of mental or emotional shift -- or suddenly understand what your life's calling is?

PTM releases new book by Greg Albrecht -- Unplugging From Religion . . . Connecting With God
In this new book from PTM, Greg Albrecht offers vital help for those who are or have been shackled to legalistic religion -- and who are ready to transition to the freedom of God’s amazing grace. Unplugging From Religion… Connecting With God gives readers courage, confidence and faith to break free from the tyranny of religion and accept the intimate relationship God offers. To see a video and learn more about Unplugging From Religion . . . Connecting With God or to order a copy click here.

What about the flood?
Some place great importance on the flood of Genesis. Did it really happen? How big was it? When was it? Can we find the ark? Does it confirm the Bible? But does an obsession with these questions draw our focus away from life in Christ?

Does Jesus want us to vote?
If God is sovereign and establishes whoever he wants in power, doesn't it follow that it's wrong for Christians to vote?

Why Christians don't pray
Most Christians would agree that they don't pray as much as they'd like, but what, exactly, keeps them from praying? The answers may surprise you.
