"Whatever Happened to the Resurrection?" by Dr. Robert R. Dawson, challenges us to consider the fact that as amazing as Christ's sacrifice on the cross is, without the resurrection, the gospel is not the Good News."

Why Is This Issue Different? – Kevin DeYoung

Why Is This Issue Different? – Kevin DeYoung: "I don’t relish writing about the same thing over and over (especially in light of World Vision’s stunning and humble reversal of their two day-old hiring policy).

Religious news sites like Christian Post, Charisma News or the Christian section of Huffington Post carry the story with headlines expressing shock, and their readers dutifully respond with hysterical blog posts by the thousands.

The Self-Neutralized Church and the Rise of Adolf Hitler | Vision to America

The Self-Neutralized Church and the Rise of Adolf Hitler | Vision to America: "What will happen if secularists get their way in our society?

No area of life is off limits."
