Some Old Friends Say "Hi"
Pastor Riddlebarger ran into some old friends on Sunday (June 22) at the Coram Deo URC in Denver. The Kims (Will and Olga, along with their three children) and the McGoverns (Jack and Christie, and their triplets) are now members there.
Both Will and Jack are serving Coram Deo as elders. They wanted to say "hi" to all their old friends @ Christ Reformed.

Kenneth Samples's New Book "A World of Difference"
A World of Difference: Putting Christian Truth-Claims to the Worldview Test
Publication Date: September 2007
Description
At a time when Christian belief is constantly challenged, understanding different worldviews can help Christians think and live faithfully. Kenneth Samples's own life-and-death crisis encourages believers to develop a worldview perspective based on truth, critical thinking, and logic. In A World of Difference, he addresses the historic Christian worldview and evaluates four modern-day competitors—Islam, naturalism, postmodernism, and pantheistic monism. The use of nine distinct and challenging tests shows how all worldviews should be assessed.
With compelling insight into Scripture, history, science, and theology, A World of Difference will challenge and strengthen your beliefs.

Endorsement
"One of my biggest concerns for Christians struggling to make their way through the intellectual challenges of our age is that they often don't have the basic categories to think biblically about their own faith. Ken Samples's A World of Difference will give them those categories."-- Kim Riddlebarger, co-host, The White Horse Inn; author, A Case for Amillennialism and The Man of Sin (Baker), Senior pastor of Christ Reformed Church, Anaheim, California.
