The Conclusion You Want 10 Aug 2013 | 01:37 am

Cessation and Continuation 2 Aug 2013 | 08:11 pm
Dave Black posted some notes on the difference between being a cessationist and a continualist (his term). I agree with his comments. Most commonly when we talk about “cessationism” we are talking ab...
The Problem with Eschatology 16 Jul 2013 | 03:58 am

Robert Reich on Immigration 1 Jul 2013 | 07:16 pm
Robert Reich exposes some myths about immigration. I’d have a couple of quibbles (I wish “myth” weren’t used in this way, for one thing), but they wouldn’t change the overall result. This is why I don...
Of Creation, Evolution, and Worship 30 Jun 2013 | 01:11 am
