Weekend A La Carte (February 27)

Making the Most of Prayer Meeting

Here are some worthwhile tips on enjoying your church’s prayer meeting. You do go to your church’s prayer meeting, right?

Six Things Submission Is Not

John Piper provides six things that the Bible does not mean when it talks about submission.

Why So Many Evangelicals Are For Trump

I guess everyone is speculating about the reason for Trump’s popularity, even among Evangelicals. An article at the Federalist offers a compelling answer. “He is not one of them—they know that.
