A La Carte (4/26)

Consistent Complementarianism – Merely being complementarian is not enough. Michael McKinley says “I see a lot of men who assert their headship in their home, but who do not take a consistent approach to the authorities set over them by God (or God himself).”

—Richard Baxter

    Random Thoughts and Tips on Prayer
