I appreciated the invitation from Andrew Walker to write on the biblical case for parental rights and authority for Public Discourse, and online journal of the Witherspoon Institute. Below is an excerpt from the article, the rest of which can be read here. "Parental authority is enshrined in Christian Scripture in a prominent position as…
Past the grove of cypress trees Walter -- he had been playing king of the mountain -- saw the white truck, and he knew it for what it was. He thought, That's the abortion truck. Come to take some kid in for a postpartum down at the abortion place. And he thought, Maybe my folks…
Much controversy has swirled around the upcoming Revoice conference being held at a PCA church in St. Louis on July 26–28. Here is its stated purpose: "Supporting, encouraging, and empowering gay, lesbian, same-sex-attracted, and other LGBT Christians so they can flourish while observing the historic, Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality."
