Of Matt Walsh, Justice and Vengeance
Recently Matt Walsh, a popular evangelical (and somehow very Roman Catholic) blogger posted a series of tweets condemning the death penalty as an excuse for vengeance. Death penalty isn’t needed in modern society. Therefore it exists purely for vengeance. That means I can’t support it ‘ Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) May 23, 2014 Vengeance. That’s an...
Why both Baptists and Presbyterians should watch the movie “Baptism is Not Enough”
If you have been on Facebook for any length of time, you almost certainly have gotten yourself pulled into a debate on Baptism.

Review of Million Dollar Arm and Exclusive Interview with Producer Mark Ciardi
Baseball is a great sport. It’s the only game in the world where the defense gives the ball to the offense to score.
