Article by August 2011
Some recent posts address the important discussion taking place together regarding the relationship of justification to sanctification (see here and here). This topic is crucial to us getting the gospel right today while avoiding the deadly extremes of antinomianism (a lawless... continue
Praying with a Kingdom Purpose
Article by August 2011

Thoughts on Christian Patriotism
