Montgomery Pastor Admits to Having AIDS, Sleeping With Church Members

Deacon Williams says he’s been a member of the church for 70 years, and this is the biggest scandal the church has ever experienced. “He confessed to the entire membership and then to the City of Montgomery, because as soon as he got done confessing, it went all over Montgomery anyway,” Williams said. “So it’s...

They Are Coming for Your Children
Teacup totalitarians target Connecticut home-schoolers
Professor West of Georgetown is scandalized that parents “have virtually unfettered authority to decide what subjects to teach, what curriculum materials to use,” etc., and, naturally, worries that this will result in parents who teach “from nothing but the Bible.” (Question: What is the opposite of “unfettered”?) She is particularly offended that in some states,... Continue Reading
The Mercy of Sickness before Death
What cancer patients need more than anything is to take responsibility for their disease
How could it possibly be merciful of God to reduce you to the hyperawareness, every second of your waking life, that death is relentlessly approaching? Even if it is a knowledge that most other men and women do not have, regardless of what they may like to say, is it knowledge worth having? Just... Continue Reading
Failure is an Option
Spent and be spent: grandson travels to Liberia to celebrate his grandparents 40 years of faithful mission service
My visit to Bahn was painfully brief, that was the price paid to the rain. Forty years of imagination took form that afternoon as I met the people of the mission, including Daddy Wonti, who was my grandfather’s closest friend in Liberia.

American pastor Saeed Abedini pens a letter to his daughter from an Iranian prison
God is in control of the whole world and everything that is happening in it is for His good purpose, for His glory, and will be worked out for our good (Romans 8:28). Jesus allows me to be kept here for His glory. He is doing something inside each of us and also outside in... Continue Reading
Jason Stellman’s Unmitigated Disaster
A response to Stellman’s comments after 2 years in Roman Catholicism
Of course—how else could it be? Apostasy has consequences. You abandon your vows, deny the gospel of grace, embrace the Papal system and promote it by your speeches and writings, and think you will be welcome in the church you almost single-handedly crippled? Your very presence would be divisive, troubling, and distracting even if you... Continue Reading

The Many, Many, Many Things You Should Say “No” To At Work
Forget having it all. Newbrand analytics ceo Kristin Muhlner is having none of it. Look at all the things she says no to, and get inspired.
“I say no to a lot of philanthropic activities. I do think they’re incredibly important and I appreciate the time people invest in it, but for me personally, unless it’s a cause I’m deeply committed to, I generally say no. It takes away from me doing the specific essential things in my life. I also... Continue Reading
Sabbath Rest
Jesus Christ gives the rest that neither Moses nor Joshua could provide
But one may ask: “How does this impact my Sundays as a Christian?” This view of the Sabbath should help us regulate our weeks. Sunday is “Father’s Day,” and we have an appointment to meet Him.
