J. Michael Jones: Finding a Christian (metaphysical) View of Nature, Part II
Finding a Christian (metaphysical) View of Nature, Part II by J. Michael Jones The Implications of our View on the Material on our View of Nature.

Monday with Michael Spencer: Where’s Jesus?
Monday with Michael Spencer From Where’s Jesus?: Thoughts on a Localized Christ Answering the question “Where can you get your Jesus?” is very important.
