Donald Trump and the Great Projection

This is a fascinating article: “The dream of a Clinton presidency and liberal Supreme Court has turned into a nightmare. The hope that America might become one big college campus where dissenters could be shouted down with the connivance of the administration has been inverted. The weapons liberals sharpened now look likely to be turned upon the left.”

The Last Text

The National Post is running an important series on the danger of using your phone while driving. It’s probably good reading for teens, but for adults as well.

We Are Open!

I sure enjoyed reading about this little Welsh church and its successful attempts to reach its community.

How To Serve in Missions in Your Local Church

“You, dear Christian — working full-time, raising a family, established in a church, and serving in that ministry context — can actively serve in missionary work. But it’ll cost you.
