Last year, a 25-year-old Seattleite named Andrew got a taste of Mark Driscoll’s almost cult-like style of church discipline. Andrew’s story has made the rounds many times ever since blogger Matthew Paul Turner first shared it. I won’t rehash the details here. Yesterday, Slate picked up the story, wh ...

It’s true. The number of Christians, and specifically, Catholics, is on the decline in New England. Interestingly, no Christian bands are touring in New England, either. Not the Newsboys. Not Winter Jam 2012. Not Rock and Worship. Not Casting Crowns. Not Jeremy Camp. Not REDvolution. Not Veggietales ...

Text of 1 Corinthians 13 1 If I speak in the tongues [ a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, ...

In these politically correct days, though, I am beginning to think that the legal profession has adopted ...
