What’s So ‘Good’ About ‘Good Friday?’ – CR CLASSIC
It’s a paradox. God willingly sacrifices Himself for the humanity that boastfully, gleefully kills Him. It makes no sense.

And yet… We can’t not look at the […]
Who’s On Trial Here? – CR CLASSIC

With amazing consistency this one thing keeps repeating itself in these far-flung places: God is at work! It’s a thrill for us to bring you these stories […]
Giving Our Children a Global Vision
They say the way to know if someone is really committed is that they “put their money where their mouth is.” Well, we take it a step farther, as any mission-sending family can attest. The measure of devotion for any parent is to put their children where their mouth is… Bram joins Norm in studio, […]
