Different sorts of pages may include
* Contents page of a topic
** '''Why have contents pages? Why not make this like wikipedia?''' These are reasonable questions. If you are creating a page for a topic, you do not need to make a contents page. There are many advantages to a contents page for the topic however, including:
*** The page doesn't get absolutely enormous
*** People can write specific sub-page that contain opinions
*** If this was only meant to be an encyclopedia, then Wikipedia would suffice, and there would be no need for WikiChristian - having a contents page allows this to be more a text-book and forum for discussion than a plain encyclopedia
** '''How to lay-out a contents page?''' If creatining or editing a contents page, one standardized approach could be as follows (for an example see the [[Grace]] contents page)
*** Start with a famous quote or a Bible quote
*** Then have a brief 2 or 3 sentence summary or definition of the subject
*** Then have a sub-heading '''Definitions / explanations''' followed by links to specific articles defining or explaining the topic
**** Then have a sub-heading ''Articles / opinions''' followed by (1) a link where people can write short comments and opinions about the topic and (2) links of longer opinion articles
**** Then have a sub-heading ''Quotes'' followed by links for famous quotes about the topic, and Bible quotes about the topic
**** Then have other miscellaneous sub-headings, depending on the topic, these may include: Travel stories, Testimonies, Songs about, Famous people etc...

''In brief,'' grace is God's love poured out on undeserving humanity. All have fallen short of the glory of God - all have sinned. Yet God loves us still. Nothing we do can restore us to a right relationship with God. It is only through faith in Christ, in his death and resurrection that we can return to God.
