Short articles:

Do you know the real Jesus or a religious idol? Did Jesus come to earth to warn people about eternal damnation in hell unless they profess a particular religious creed? This "fundamentalist" view of Jesus is a false gospel of terror, not the hopeful and loving message of the real Jesus Christ.
When Faith Is Tested, Hope Remains by Eric Stetson. When difficult events in life test our faith, shaking it to its very foundations, what can we rely upon? On what, exactly, does our faith stand?
A Helping Hand in Heaven. We all have a Father in heaven looking out for us. God's grace is the only thing that can save us from our sinful human nature, not our own efforts to perfect ourselves.

Medium-length articles:

Hell: Satan's Biggest Lie. Why the devil wants us to believe God tortures people forever in hell. The doctrine of eternal hell has done more damage to Christianity, civilization, and the human soul than any other false teaching.
