Dr. Gregory Wills answers: “What is the difference between Catholics and Protestants?”

Discriminating against People with Down Syndrome

“Abortion of a child with Down syndrome is unjust discrimination. Unborn children with Down syndrome are bona fide human beings but are being discriminated against because they have a characteristic that some people arbitrarily believe disqualifies them from being valuable and protected.”

Benefits of Singing Psalms

I’m no exclusive psalmodist, but I do appreciate this: “It seems to me that when we consider why we ought to sing God’s Word in worship, we tend to spend so much time on debating the question that we neglect the joy and benefits of actually doing so.

    There is a lot I miss from the days when our children were young. High on the list is family devotions.
