The public perception of Madison is incomplete. The so-called Athens of the Midwest is indeed the home to a world-class center of learning, the University of Wisconsin, and the home of the “Sifting and Winnowing” statement, “by which alone truth can be found.”
But there is another truth plaque on the University of Wisconsin campus, on the corner of South Hall, which says. “Ye shall know the truth and the truth will make you free.” These are the words of Jesus.
Every day, in the Madison area, followers of Jesus are putting the Gospel into practice. Prisoners are being set free and lives are being changed, such as we reported in our recent story on Lighthouse School.
In spite of the COVID-related social upheaval of the last few years, many church communities are thriving. Christian organizations are serving the community and meeting the needs of their constituencies. As C.S. Lewis put it, in the Chronicles of Narnia, “Aslan is on the move.”
The mainstream television and newspapers only rarely tell these stories. Here at MadisonChristians.com we have 17 years of archives that tell many more of those stories.
But we think that’s just the tip of the iceberg. We want to be the place where even more of those stories are shared, to bring glory to God, and to encourage each other in the faith.
“Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16
