You’ve Got Lies
Beth Spraul, who attends Capitol Hill Baptist Church, has written a very good article about chick flicks and the lies they brings.


A Review of N.T. Wright’s Justification

The Trinity in Contemporary Worship Songs
I enjoyed listening to this lecture by Lester Ruth: “Lex Amandi, Lex Orandi: The Trinity in the Most Used Contemporary Christian Worship Songs.” He analyzes the most popular contemporary Christian worship songs and goes looking for evidence of trinitarian theology.
