Shepherding Your Children – Here’s a must-read article from Brian Croft on one way a father can faithfully shepherd his children.

Filthy Calvinists – Frank Turk writes about people who love to hate Calvinism. He mentions something I wrote and says it was the most strongly worded statement I’ve ever made. He must not have read this review.
