Collins also said that he included perspectives that he doesn’t agree with and that presenting his own viewpoint wasn’t the book’s goal. “I describe views that I don’t hold and try to help people figure out boundaries.”

If we feel obligated to preach only Christ’s priestly office, then we must find a way to turn every text to this issue even when it may not naturally go there. Thus, we “find” Christ in the text in an unnatural way rather than a natural way. This ends up creating sermons that sound almost the same every time, regardless of what the passage actually says

Charles Haddon Spurgeon: Born June 19, 1834. Died January 31, 1892. Our objective is to distill some principles from his life that will help us in our homes. What can we learn from Spurgeon’s upbringing? What discoveries can be made as we consider how he and his wife Susannah brought up their children? Can we learn from how Spurgeon interacted with all children? Are there principles that we might employ that will bring sweetness to our own families? I believe that there are.

If you see or hear something that is newsworthy (e.g., not simply a rumor, no matter how hot it is) send an email and/or text to [email protected]. That would certainly be quicker and easier than trying to find Dominic Aquila at any given time!!

Many fathers, she says, are looking for something special to do on Father's Day, and are less likely to attend a normal church service. Having a special event, however, gives them a break from the routine and can be a great way to draw them in.

By public announcements on climate change, the CRC can call human kind back to a stewardly and humble way of living before God’s face. By using fewer nonrenewable resources and living more simply we may help developing countries rather than hindering them.

"I think we're at a fork in the road in the culture now where God's heart for humanity needs to show through us. With the core sense of the culture—this 24/7 news cycle and the polarization—we cannot take the bait as the Christian community. We've got to be more mindful of God's character and how he expresses himself through us." --Jim Daly

Perhaps it is the fervent individualism of American Christianity which makes free market capitalism seem like a Divine mandate. Because evangelicals assert that you alone are responsible for your eternal salvation, it makes sense that the individual is also responsible for his or her economic salvation without government assistance, especially if God is the only assistance you really need.

It's widely remarked that to be "poor" in America often means decent housing, at least one vehicle, a cell phone for everybody in the family over age 12, air conditioning, two TVs, and a pig heaven of high-carb snacks—wealth beyond the dreams of the average Haitian. Though often exaggerated, it's true enough to raise eyebrows when discussion turns to "The Other America."
