IM Recommended Reading: Who Speaks for Evangelicals?

But if youContinue reading “IM Book Review: The Complete Psalms”

A “Sound” Argument

By Chaplain Mike Let’s move away from theological topics for a few minutes and talk about what’s really filling people’s ears and minds in these days when life is lived to a continual soundtrack. In Sunday’s New York Times, Joseph Plambeck examines how life has changed when it comes to what we expect from ourContinue reading “A “Sound” Argument”
