  One cannot deny that the world we call home is a highly diverse place. There are so many different cultures with their own folklore and beliefs that helped shape their religions and their history. Above all, they aided in making sense of a world in which science and information weren’t readily available at all times. 
  Religions, spiritualism, and belief in something greater than oneself have been present for hundreds of thousands of years. The oldest religious site so far, Göbekli Tepe, dates back to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic Era, between 9500 and 8000 BCE.  
  The Old Norse Religion is not that old. It is currently one of the most well-known non-monotheistic religions. It is also regarded as one of the essential mythologies for comparative research of Indo-European mythologies. This is due to the massive amount of surviving material that exists and the fact that Norse mythology remains the best documented of all the Germanic mythologies and religions.  
  The term “Old Norse religion” is the most common name assigned to the pre-Christian religious system throughout Scandinavia, with terms including but not limited to Old Norse Paganism, Odinism, O 2 Northern Heathenism, and North Germanic Paganism. It branched out from the Germanic religion that could be encountered across Europe wherever people spoke Germanic languages.

Acknowledging this shared experience can foster empathy, both for ourselves and for others, allowing us to recognize that we are not alone in our struggles.

  United in Grace, Beyond Debate
  Conversations about abortion often center on the question: Are you pro-life or pro-choice?
  But what if that's the wrong question?
  Drawing upon the life and teachings of Jesus, Becoming ProGrace invites Christians to ask new questions, such as:
  
  - What if conversations about abortion didn't have to feel so tense, divided, or dehumanizing?
  - What does it mean to affirm the image of God in every person involved?
  - How do we navigate tension we may feel when our deepest Christian values seem to conflict?
  - What would it take for Christian communities to become spaces of empathy, listening, and grace?
  
  Including insights and personal stories from Christians of diverse denominational backgrounds and political perspectives, Becoming ProGrace articulates a uniquely Christian response to abortion that calls us to take on the character of Christ rather than trying to change others, offering a much-needed message of hope for our divided world.
  Jesus led with grace. As we reimagine our approach to the abortion conversation, so can we.

  Isaiah 53 is one of the most astonishing passages in the entire Bible: It is often called, “The Holy of Holies” of the Old Testament. However, it is even more broadly impacting than most people realize; that’s why we call it, “The Fulcrum of the Entire Universe”. Its reach includes the entire creation. Clearly, its most devotional significance details our personal salvation: Indeed, the entire New Testament is summarized in its remarkable 12 verses. Yet it also includes some of the most astonishing apologetic insights in the entire Bible. Rich rewards for the diligent.

  Strange Religion - How the First...

  The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today's believers. 
   
   
   
  Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle. They practiced a whole new way of thinking about and doing religion that would have been seen as bizarre and dangerous when compared to Roman religion and most other religions of the ancient world. 
   
   
   
  Award-winning author, blogger, speaker, and New Testament teacher Nijay Gupta traces the emerging Christian faith in its Roman context in this accessible and engaging book. Christianity would have been seen as radical in the Roman world, but some found this new religion attractive and compelling. The first Christians dared to be different, pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable, transformed how people thought about religion, and started a movement that grew like wildfire. This book shows how the example of the earliest Christians can offer today's believers encouragement and hope.
