A new review of Real Marriage by former members of Mars Hill that raises some concerns with the tone, not the content. From the beginning of this book, Mark has made passing references to Grace’s mistakes and abuse that lead to difficulty in their marriage, but what about him? He had been in previous sexual …
Kathleen Nielsen on never retreating in the Christian life. We’re going forward, and no orders to retreat can possibly be official. Germany has repeatedly sent men into the Allied ranks perfectly disguised as Allied officers, speaking English or French perfectly, to order a retreat, just as the Devil sends the same kind of people into …
Gambling is once again in the spotlight as its expansion is being considered in many states. Albert Mohler has written a great article on its dangers and the appropriate Christian response.

It has been by researchers that the average number of times a person will hear the gospel before they …
New software can tell if you are mean and ugly. Facial recognition, of course, is being used for everything from photo tagging to law enforcement and computer logins these days. This software takes the practice a step further in a high-tech continuation of research aimed at connectingfacial shape and features to personality and character. Sinclair …
Albert Mohler on the murderous culture of obstetricians who abort one of two or three unborn children to reduce the number of live births. Jenny makes this clear.
