Why the Reformation Still Matters, Another Example

Jeff provides evidence that the Reformation still really matters.

Complete Series of Dr. W Robert Godfrey on the End of Christendom

I have really been enjoying this series of lectures by Robert Godfrey in which he discusses the end of Christendom (and makes so many Dutch jokes).

Does Rahab Show Us That It’s Sometimes Okay to Lie?

Does the Old Testament story of Rahab tell us that it’s sometimes okay to lie? I am inclined to agree with this author’s perspective.

Time to Bring Out the Fruit

“Every culture, in spite of the fall, retains elements of the image of God. For those with eyes to see, these positive elements of a culture quietly point to the wisdom, beauty, and goodness of God, a remnant witness which can’t help but spill out even in cultures that have been cut off from the truth for centuries.”

    Zero Gravity

    While making a long journey across the world and enduring the fatigue that comes with it, I thought it would be nice to enjoy some light reading along the way. I mean it as no pun when I say Zero Gravity proved to be just the thing.
