Thank You, Mark Steyn

Freedom of speech, because it’s the freedom to argue for all the other freedoms.” ~ Mark Steyn [1] I first came across Mark Steyn while listening to him on the Rush Limbaugh program.

Sunday Stirrings

The God Who Knows Why
During the Christmas season, we are reminded that our Mighty God is with us. Yet, as we face the uncertainty of the New Year, it’s hard to apply that truth.

For now, we are called to trust and lean on Him.

Artificial Intelligence and the Threat to Thinking
It may be hard to imagine, but there was a time when books did not exist. It’s hard enough for us to imagine a world without the internet, but what about a world without written books? The internet and the blogosphere is buzzing with talk about the consequences of the internet and the danger ofContinue reading “Artificial Intelligence and the Threat to Thinking”
Introducing… The Gospel!

Mark’s first line – the line that is meant to captivate his readers – is this: “The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” Right there, dear friends, is likely the simplestContinue reading “Introducing… The Gospel!”
