Lately a lot of spammers have decided to start peddling their wares by using the comments section of this site. I apologize if you have seen some pretty nasty comments attached to the various articles. I have tried to remove them as quickly as I am able but a few may have escaped my notice.

When It Feels Like the Temptation Is Coming From Outside

No Christian tradition is perfect, which means that every Christian tradition has its own strengths and weaknesses. Every tradition has areas in which it presses hard to understand and live according to biblical truth, but then also areas in which it inevitably fails to completely match Scripture’s teaching and emphases.
