Genetic Testing – Here’s one cost of a new technology: “With genetic testing, I gave my parents the gift of divorce.”

Tribute to My Pastor – I enjoyed this tribute to a pastor. “Before I preached in the chapel service at Southern Seminary, Dr. Mohler recognized [him] as the pastor who had raised up more preachers than anyone he knew in North America.”

The Pornification of the Church – A new survey shows that professed Chrsitians still look at tons of porn.

Saving Dr. Brantley – Dateline did an interview with Dr. Kent Brantly, the Christian doctor who survived Ebola.
