Bereans VLOG (9/22/2017)
25 Sep 2017

Whatever your brand of protestant faith, I think that in this coming month of October–in a very important sense–we are all Lutherans: here we stand.

Yes, repeating something true to intentionally deceive is a lie. The case of the (missing) gender pay gap

On October 18 Andrew T. Walker, Director of Policy Studies at the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention will speak in Cedarville University’s Chapel. I have just finished reading Andrew’s new book God and the Transgender Debate: What Does the Bible Actually Say About Gender Identity?. The book helped me understand the issue more clearly […]

The broader Christian community continues to struggle with how to engage the culture in the ongoing sexual revolution–how do we hate the sin and love the sinner? There seems to be a consensus that what was done in the past was at a minimum strategically ineffective, and that a new path forward must be forged. […]
