(Yesterday on the blog: What Can a Heart Do?)

Is Your Gospel an Urban Legend?

I hate all the evolutionary talk in this article, but I do appreciate the point it makes: Humanity’s best attempts at designing planes still fall far, far short of the most ordinary bird.

Life and limb

Andrée Seu Peterson considers how God oversees life and limb and everything else.
