Do I Have to Know the Date? – “Pastor John, I was greatly troubled in a service recently when the preacher said that unless each person could identify the specific day that they prayed ‘the sinner’s prayer’ they were not converted. … I feel sure I am converted but this preacher has unsettled me enormously. What are your thoughts on this?”

Fighting the Good Fight – Rosaria Butterfield is fighting the good fight. Denny Burk brings you up to date.

Love is not maximum emotion. Love is maximum commitment.

—Sinclair Ferguson
