James White vs. Bart Ehrman
In January of next year, James White will be debating Bart Ehrman on “Can the New Testament be inspired in light of textual variation.” Sounds like it should be an interesting one.


Diocese Threatens to Suspend Packer
“New Westminster Bishop Michael Ingham has sent Packer and seven other clergy members a ‘notice of presumption of abandonment of the exercise of ministry.’” See the first comment for a bit of clarification.


When God Doesn’t Heal You
A friend of Trillia’s posts a testimony to God’s grace even in the midst of suffering.


Pearcey in the Examiner
The Examiner has published Rick Pearcey’s tribute to William F. Buckley. “The contrast with the opportunistic ‘mover and shaker’ of Big Government, Big Celebrity or, sadly, Big Christianity, encourages us to push forward to a higher calling, a nobler practice, a loving dream awalk in the world.”

    How Men Can Use Their Authority Well

  • The Most Neglected Element of Worship

    The Most Neglected Element of Worship

    There are some elements of public worship that receive a great deal of attention. These elements are taught, practiced, rehearsed, and perfected until they are as good as they can be. In most churches, this includes the music, of course, and often the preaching. Why do these receive so much attention?
