For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain, but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition. For our exhortation does not come from error or [...]

Apparently, a new stone has just appeared that comes from the Dead Sea area. While I have done nothing more than read an article about it, it sounded very interesting. It seems this stone relates to the Jewish concept of Messiah. Interestingly, it has been dated to the first century B.C. [...]

Abortion is one of the only political issues worth commenting on in this blog, though seldom is discussion of it truly constructive in any forum these days. I would like to remind people of something eloquent and true which Senator Kennedy wrote in 1971:

In my Philosophy of Education course tonight, my teacher went on a brief tangent in which he took a pot-shot at “Chistian Evangelical Fundamentalists”. I’m not sure whether or not he used the term “right-wing”.
I usually don’t speak up when my teacher goes on these little rants. He’s generally a nice guy and [...]

Tim Challies has posted an excellent article dealing with two highly controversial issues in a clear, concise way.
I hesitate to impose my legal views on people who don’t accept Jesus as Lord; but I strive to find a way to reconcile the truth about an unborn child’s life to a culture that turns [...]
