When Scripture Is the Controversy – “If we learned anything from last week, maybe it’s that the real controversy among evangelicals in the coming days will be about the Bible, not homosexuality.” Exactly so.

Where Everyone in the World is Migrating – This fascinating and beautiful chart shows the mass migration of people today.

Good Friday in Toronto – If you live in or near Toronto, you may want to consider coming to the Toronto Gospel Alliance Good Friday service at U of T.

Extra Special Revelation – In this podcast Carl Trueman and the rest of his Mortification of Spin crew have a discussion about Sarah Young’s mega-selling, mega-problematic Jesus Calling.

    What Makes You Beautiful

    I have often thought of a conversation that took place when my girls were little.

A stranger saw me interacting with them one day…
