Don’t Take it From Me – Kathy Keller on why you shouldn’t marry an unbeliever: “Over the course of our ministry, the most common pastoral issue that Tim and I have confronted is probably marriages—either actual or proposed—between Christians and non-Christians.

Using the Web to Sell Girls – This heart-breaking article talks about how the Web is used to sell the services of girls.

The Ekranoplane – An interesting little slice of history: “In the thick of the Cold War, the Soviet Union built an immense vessel to carry their troops across the seas and into Western Europe.

  • Authority

    How Men Can Use Their Authority Well
