Fatal Convictions by Randy Singer Review by Benjamin and Angela Davenport Fatal Convictions was a decent read and kept me on my toes until the very end. The “scenes” are very short, more like a modern television show or movie than a classical novel or play. It surprised me to be finishing chapters in only [...]

Jesus Manifesto: Review
May 31, 2010
Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola have thoughtfully written their newest book, Jesus Manifesto, in an “ancient devotional tone,” seeking to “show the difference between invoking the name of Jesus in vain and using His name in a way that reveals His beauty and honors His person” (introduction, p. xx). They explained that the purpose of [...]
Jesus Manifesto: Introduction
May 31, 2010

“This is going to cause division in the church!”
June 7, 2009
It’s not uncommon when Christians respond to discussions and debates over controversial issues with an objection such as, “This issue is so controversial. Isn’t it just going to cause division in the church?” Doesn’t this go against Jesus’ prayer in John 17:21, where Jesus prays that “[those who believe in Him through the Apostles' word] [...]
Did God design women and men with any inherent differences?
June 7, 2009
Since a recent post of mine secondarily brought up the question of how women should be involved in the Church, I thought it would be good to follow it up with a post specifically on that issue. What should Christians do when our culture says that gender roles are simply social constructs? What does God [...]
