Are Christian Colleges on The Decline?
This writer seems to think that many Christian colleges are not on a good course, and are possibly in decline in more than one way. Yet, the network of Christian colleges that gleams in the sunlight as the ivory tower of Evangelicalism is neither as stable nor as influential as it wishes or...
Looking For Peace in All the Wrong Places
Lisa speaks of those who base their Christianity and doctrinal preferences upon the subjective “peace” that they feel. If they feel “peace” then it must be OK, is the idea.

The (Welcome) Rise of the Pastor-Theologian: A Friendly Response to Donald Miller – The Gospel Coalition Blog
I greatly appreciated this post from The Gospel Coalition (yeah, shoot me; I read TGC!). It’s worth reading, for sure. Scholarship, or theology, or whatever you want to label it, is not the enemy of lived Christianity. Theology, when done biblically, gives life. It is eminently practical. Faithful Christian scholars and theologians necessarily engage...
