Speaking Like a Christian

The last few days have offered many opportunities for all of us to speak like Christians (or not to speak like Christians).

Why Single Is Not the Same as Lonely

Sam Allberry: “It has become an unquestioned assumption today: Singleness (at least godly singleness) and intimacy are alternatives. A choice to be celibate is a choice to be alone.
