The obsession with Keller from the “negative world” espousing and “shepherds for sale” fans would be fascinating if it weren’t grotesque. Why does this man who devoted his life to preaching the gospel in a hostile place make you so angry? Do you hate the idea that grace is

This election is idiotic. Kamala Harris is suddenly a tough-on-crime tax-cutter, and Donald Trump, a fast-food addict, was endorsed by RFK Jr. for wanting to expose chemicals in food. No one believes anything. (To say nothing of Warp Speed and RFK’s antivaxiness). Just stop

"Crudity, duplicity and even dishonesty all justified because... America in 2024 is [supposedly] analogous to Jericho in redemptive history and worse than first-century Rome... [This] is a transvaluation of Christian values if ever there was one" - Trueman adfontesjournal.com/web-exclusives…

Tony Campolo passed away today. He was 89 years old. He was one of the most gifted preachers I have ever heard. If you have a few minutes, listen to him tell the story of throwing a birthday party for a prostitute in Hawaii. It's worth your time.
