A specter now haunts the London Olympics: that of public indifference, bought at the cost of billions that future generations will struggle to repay.

Ruth and Karl Price said their son put God first, was unassuming and shied away from praises like being called a "hero."

If we’re motivated to modesty by a concern for God’s glory, our witness, and love for the souls of our fellow men, we’ll wear clothes that free us to live out kingdom lives in a fallen world. Fear of legalism is just as big an issue as fear of antinomianism – both are antithetical to... Continue Reading

Matthew Lee Anderson distinguishes “tolerant” (i.e., liberal) from “intolerant” (i.e., Religious Right) consumer boycotts. The latter objects to specific products, the former to ideas.
