(Yesterday on the blog: One of the Most Urgent Biblical Commands for Our Day)

Where Do Human Rights Come From?

Randy Alcorn considers the source of human rights and explains why it is so important that we get the matter correct.

Individualism and the Churches

John Benton explains how some of the alarming trends we see within the church can be explained by society’s obsession with individualism.
