Don’t Blame Wayne – “Wayne Dobson doesn’t have your cellphone. Even if it looks like he might.

The Rise of Reformed Theology Among African Americans – “Reformed theology is nothing new. So why do more African Americans seem to be adopting it now?” Jemar Tisby offers 5 factors that have contributed.

Blogging Etiquette – This is a worthwhile read for anyone who runs a blog or anyone who comments on one.

Interview with Rosaria Butterfield – Marvin Olasky recently interviewed Rosaria Butterfield, author of The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert.

If you are idle in Christ’s work, you are active in the devil’s work.
