The Madness of Daylight Saving Time Endures

It’s that time again. And it still doesn’t really make sense! (Also, I’m in Hawaii this weekend and it seems like the whole state just skips it altogether…)

Evangelicalism After Billy Graham

17 Statements that a Paedobaptist and a Credobaptist Can Both Affirm

“Tucked away in a footnote to Mark Dever’s chapter in the book, Believer’s Baptism: Sign of the New Covenant, ed. Tom Schreiner and Shawn Wright, there is an interesting footnote. In the summer of 2001 pastors Mark Dever (SBC) and David Coffin (PCA) held a public conversation at Capitol Hill Baptist Church on baptism. They came up with the following 17 statements that both could affirm.”

Porn Is Not the Worst Thing on Musical.ly

This one is for parents whose children like to keep up with social media. Note there’s a graphic picture in there and some adult topics. “Musical.ly looks innocent — just kids making music videos, and it is that, but more so it’s this: user uploaded content by millions of people who can also live stream, which is how I first encountered porn on Musical.ly. A very helpful naked man live-streamed his live stream.”

Does God Hear the Prayers of an Unbeliever? (Video)

“‘Does God hear the prayers of an unbeliever?’ Dr. Donald Whitney answers in Honest Answers.”

A Better Country For Mom

My friend Sam has written a poignant article about his mother.

Mind the Gap

This is an interesting one about the gender pay gap. It shows how it’s very difficult to understand if, how, and why such a gap exists.

Flashback: An Intimidating Opportunity

I believe God is pleased when we pursue hobbies. I also believe that we can confidently pursue them and do them for the glory of God even if there is no obviously redeeming value in them.

Affliction may be lasting, but it is not everlasting.

  • No Cotton Candy Fairy Tale

    If you’ve read or listened to the news lately, you’ve probably heard much about the persecution of Christians across the world.

    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.
