5 Myths about the Reformation
Gavin Ortlund addresses some popular myths about the Reformation.
How Social Media Makes Regional Conflicts International
Wyatt Graham offers some really interesting thoughts on social media. “I am calling for a peace treaty. I am calling for the daring move to believe the best in each other. It takes two to tango. So I need to be more careful about what I say. I get it.

Indeed, many of the influential texts of the 16th century—including The Book of Concord and Calvin’s Institutes—are loaded with references to African theologians.”

Can Women Be Pastors?
Sam Storms recently provided his perspective on how women can be pastors, even if not elders. That is something of a novel view, I believe, and I think Denny Burk did a good, respectful job of showing how it is inconsistent with Scripture.
