The Gospel in 6 Minutes
Here’s a good one to bookmark because sooner or later you’ll want to send it to someone: John Piper presents the gospel in 6 minutes.

Fighting for Pentacles
A coalition of Wiccan organizations has won the right to have the symbol of their faith–a pentacle–inscribed on government-issued tombstones and grave markers.

Weekend A La Carte (February 14)

Global Warming Takes a BreakI am beginning to see more and more articles claiming things like this: “It is increasingly clear that global warming is on hiatus for the time being. And that is not what the UN, the alarmist scientists or environmentalists predicted. For the past dozen years, since the Kyoto accords were signed…

Robert Wolgemuth Was a Kind Man

I don’t remember the first time I met Robert Wolgemuth, but I know it was when I was much younger and just beginning to get my bearings as a writer. At the time, I was beginning to consider whether it would be useful to retain a literary agent who would represent me to publishers. I…

Why We Can Confidently Persevere in Prayer

I remember the days when my children were younger and would ask me to give them something—then ask me again, and ask me again.
