A La Carte (September 9)

“You’ve Ruined My Life, Professor Craig!!” What a great email exchange this is between William Lane Craig and one of his former students. Here’s my favorite line: “Jesus is a tremendously attractive person in the wisdom of his teaching, in his character, and in the authenticity of his life.” Indeed, he is! Conservative Dissent Is…

Even as two people take the same action, one might be obeying him and the other disobeying…
