Costly Faithfulness – “It was the Anglican congregation’s firm stance on the authority of God’s word and the moral wrong of homosexuality that cost the 4,000-member church nearly everything they owned.

Singing About the Gospel – Bob Kauflin pulls a good old article out of the archives to say that singing about the gospel should never become rote.

Lame Prayers – Tony Reinke writes about the cure for lame table prayers.

41% of Americans Are Pro-Choice – “The percentage of Americans who identify themselves as ‘pro-choice’ is at the lowest point ever measured by Gallup, according to a new survey released Wednesday.” Owen Strachan gives his take on what this means.

In Jesus Name – A chaplain wrote Russell Moore to ask whether he always has to pray in the name of Jesus. Moore pens a helpful response.

The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity.

—Matthew Henry
