The Real Story of Christianity and Abortion

Al Mohler tells the real story.

Jan Hus: Martyred Reformer

I plan to visit the Hus Museum in Germany tomorrow, so appreciated this brief bio: “Hus (also commonly spelled Huss) helped lay the foundation for the Reformation through his courageous proclamation of the truth, even when doing so cost him his life.”

Deepest, Darkest Secrets

This writer asked Tinder to send her all the data they’ve collected on her as she has used the app. It came to 800 pages. Her reflections are worth considering for all of us who use so much social media.

A Letter to My Former Pastor, on the Occasion of His Retirement

Trevin Wax pays tribute: “For more than a decade of my life, you were the primary chef who served up and seasoned the meat of God’s Word for my spiritual sustenance. During my most formative years, you nourished me through your preaching more than one thousand times.”

Airplane Mode

This article aptly describes the odd state of conflict that exists in the skies (and airports) today.

Seven Characteristics of Liberal Theology

Kevin DeYoung provides seven characteristics of liberal theology. Such theology shows up constantly, so it’s good to keep this stuff in mind.

  • Uncle Nick

    That’s Your Uncle Nick

    We call them “grief moments” or “grief days,” and it is still surprising how quickly and unexpectedly they can come upon us.
