Stranger Things than Fiction: The Real Stories Behind Stranger Thing’s Satanic Panic

Stranger Things returned to Netflix with the first seven episodes of its fourth season in May 2024.

The Hebrew root of the word fear literally means “flowing of the gut”—which applies to both fear and reverence. The word’s multiplicity of meaning reflects the tension of a God who is all-powerful and all-just, but also all-loving and all-good. This sense of awe encompasses a range of emotions such as wonder, amazement, gratitude, and worship. ....



What Is Truth?

The Gospel of John presents a dialogue between Jesus and Pontius Pilate occurring shortly before Jesus is sentenced to be crucified. Pilate comes across as impatient with the proceedings and perplexed by the answers that result from his questioning.
