Love and Hate in a Foreign Country – There are some good lines in Carl Trueman’s latest article as he focuses on the RFRA protests of last week.

Married Men – Here’s an interesting one from The Washington Post: “Marriage has a transformative effect on adult behavior, emotional health, and financial well-being—particularly for men.”

Hassles and Joys – “Great risks, long journeys, government sabotage, official informants, chaotic crowds, packed halls, and fervent prayers: Welcome to a Christian training conference in Hong Kong.”

Spurgeon

—C.H. Spurgeon
