I would respect the ICC’s judgments just like I respect the judgments of my local judge who has adjudicated some of my neighbours as being speeders, thieves, drunk drivers and so on. Here is the complete list of all 54 people indicted by the ICC since 2005. Perhaps you can tell us which ones were i...

What specific issues related to Freedom of Religion do you think Harrison Butker raised in his speech that are being threatened?

Ultimately your children will be responsible for their own adult choices in the future as you will be for the choices tha...

Ken, People who engage in fornication eventually are punished with eternal torment unless they repent. Incurable, painful STDs are just a foreshadowing of that. If your children ever get cancer I'm sure you will be happy to tell them and their children this very thing. That it is God's will that th...

I don't think that big revival meetings were every really an overt policy of mainstream Mennonite conferences. My understanding of this history is that certain Mennonite individuals such as the Brunk brothers started their own stand-alone revival ministries that were not really under the auspices of...
