Too often sociologists and historians seem to be painting history and society with a broad brush dripping with bias. This is exactly what Randall Balmer does in his book Thy Kingdom Come. Who is Randall Balmer? I was driving to church listening to NPR and heard his interview. It both saddened [...]

This is where the PCUSA might be heading. Truly frightful. Here’s a clip of Fox News Report on the issue:

Nathan White has a great and I believe fair post on arguing for Cessationism from 1 Corinthians 13. While I disgree with his conclusions, I appreciate his desire to dialogue with a manner that is worthy of the Gospel. As I’ll be doing a sermon series on this subject this July, I appreciate [...]

Justin Taylor has a great post on the possiblities for adoption. Many Christians believe they do not have the resources to adopt children.
