When Does the “Big Tent” Become “Too” Big? A Look at the PCA Prior to General Assembly (Part I)
Written by Ron Gleason | Friday, April 6, 2012
It is not always the direct, frontal assaults that prove to be fatal to entities, but rather the constant repetition, year after year of an agenda, subtle innuendo, hubris, a calling into question of the current status of things, and disingenuousness. As the PCA approaches its 40th General Assembly in Louisville, Kentucky in June of…

Why I’ve Stopped Singing in Your Church
Whatever happened to the previous 2,000 years of church music history?
Written by Bill Blankschaen | Thursday, July 19, 2012

Recent Challenges to the Doctrine of Inerrancy: Peter Enns and ‘Myth’ in Genesis 1
Written by John J. Yeo | Monday, January 23, 2012
