On Tuesday of the coming week, December 5, at 10:00 a.m. the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case where both of these foundational freedoms hang in the balance. I hope you will pray earnestly.
To understand what is at stake, watch this brief video.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you will pause today personally to give thanks to God through Jesus Christ for all the “good gifts” that have come to you from his gracious hand.
For as the Scripture says: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights” (James 1:17, ESV). He is indeed the “fount of every blessing!”
The hymn-writer, Johnson Oatman, Jr., has challenged us well: “Count your many blessings, name them one by one;...

Some time ago, I reviewed some very interesting survey results from LifeWay Research that asked: how are Americans willing to receive information about a local church? In December 2008, the survey asked 15,000 American adults how they felt about 13 different ways they might receive information about a church.
What was the...

On October 31, 1517 – five hundred years ago – Martin Luther, a young Catholic monk, posted his 95 theses on the door of the castle church in Wittenberg, Germany.
That was the spark that set ablaze the religious movement we know now as the Protestant Reformation. And it was a movement that literally and radically changed the world.

One might also ask: “So, in...
