On Piles of Sand and Eating Babies – Read this one and allow yourself to be convicted.

Beautiful Scotland – This video may make you want to visit Scotland.

  • What Is “The End” of Religious Liberty?

    This week, the blog is sponsored by Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. This article is adapted from Jason G. Duesing’s chapel message, “A Portrait of the End of Religious Liberty,” given during the Spring 2024 semester at Midwestern Seminary and Spurgeon College.
