Christos Ho Kurios
Rome could not help but trip over her own feet. When you get the gospel wrong the error does not stay hermetically sealed, leaving everything else safe. Rather, the whole ship goes down. Rome, seeking to elevate the church, created … Continue reading

Is it wrong to publish anonymously?
That depends a great deal on what one is publishing. Last week I nearly broke the internet when first I suggested that while Pastor Alistair Begg’s advice on attending a loved one’s faux wedding was well off the mark, it … Continue reading

Is it a sin to break the law?
