You Have Been Warned – Al Mohler responds to the controversy surrounding the show Duck Dynasty.

When Nothing Created Everything – Joe Carter has written what our culture has been missing for far too long—a creation story for young atheistic materialists. It’s more than a little clever.

Caught Between Two Worlds – This is a sweet article. “While the kids quietly play, an older woman across the room watches them. Her eyes sparkle yet are also strikingly sad. I wonder about her story.
