A Hundredfold – This is a powerful article. “Homosexuality is an issue I have battled with my entire Christian life. It took a long time to admit to myself, longer to admit to others, and even longer to see something of God’s good purposes through it all. There have been all sorts of ups and downs.

“Radical” Three Years Later – David Platt reflects on Radical three years and a million copies later.

Struggle Theology – Steve Cornell read Monday’s article on pornography and offers some helpful comments on “Struggle Theology.”
