Darwin's Revolution

Darwin did not burst upon an unsuspecting world with his idea of natural selection as the mechanism by which species evolved. Careful observations had been going on for decades.

Shepherdess: The Stature Seekers

Even in the religious world, and even among ministerial families, status rather than stature can easily become the goal If we want to indulge ambition, Scripture encourages us to seek stature to the fullest.

In search of the silver bullet

Can't creationists come up with some evidence so spectacular and overwhelming that evolutionists will be forced to watch their theories crumple into a heap? Such a search is futile, says the author, and may lead to something less than objectivity.

Sermons from Psalms

We read from the Psalms at hospital bedsides, at weddings, and at funerals. We use them devotionally and we even sing some of them. But we rarely preach from them. And the reason, the author suggests, is because we don't really understand them. Here's how you can get into preaching from the Psalms in a way that will make them mean something to the people in your pews.
