Phil Hunt shares a father’s prayer for his children’s walk with Christ.
What’s Your Creed?
Casey makes an interesting transition from the creed of the Campbellites to the creed of today’s secular culture (which Rebecca McLaughlin outlines in her book The Secular Creed). “She argues that modern Western culture upholds five tenets of orthodoxy: Black Lives Matter, Love Is Love, The Gay Rights Movement Is the New Civil Rights Movement, Women’s Rights Are Human Rights, Transgender Women Are Women. The violation of any of these cherished doctrines risks being blackballed and canceled as a bigoted heretic.”

One thief was saved that no sinner might despair, but only one, that no sinner might presume.
—J.C. Ryle
