by Philippe Sterling A Different Kind of Love In the day before there was e-mail or texting, a young man wrote a letter to his beloved (from Clyde Murdock’s, A Treasury of Humor): My dear Laura, I would climb the highest mountain to see your face. Swim the widest river for your touch, cross the […]
Romans 5:5. now expectation does not result in shame, because the love of God is poured out in our hearts through the holy spirit who has been given to us. The expectation that is produced in us through enduring our trials and becoming approved in God’s sight, promotes a boldness about our Christian profession. What […]

By Steve Elkins I used to have lunch with Zane Hodges about once a month. One time, right before his death, I was there a little early. He had just hung up from a call. Out of the blue he said, “They’re saying I changed my view on the gospel. I never changed my view. […]
by S.C. Lazar Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov contains what is perhaps the most depressing illustration of salvation I have ever encountered. It is called the “Parable of the Onion” and it was brought to my attention by a Russian Orthodox seminarian as proof that Orthodoxy did not have a legalistic understanding of salvation.
