A La Carte Collection cover image

It’s Black Friday today, and for the past few days I’ve been trying to put together a list of deals that may be of particular interest to Christians. You can find that page right here. There are lots of deals on books, music and other items.

Black Friday Deals to Avoid – There are some good reasons to hit the stores on Black Friday, but this article gives a few items that tend not to be worth it.

Truth has no degrees or shades. A half truth is a whole lie, and a white lie is really black.

—John MacArthur

    Why Fallen Pastors So Rarely Walk Away

    Have you ever wondered why pastors who have been disqualified from ministry so rarely concede to the reality of their disqualification and just move on? Have you ever wondered why they so often disappear for a year or so and then turn up at another church or in a different denomination?
