Tim Challies: When God Doesn’t Zap Away Our Sin

“God gives that grace, but for some reason—his good reasons—it rarely comes in the form we would prefer. God gives it not in the form we want but in the form we need.

Public Discourse: Seven Things I Wish My Pastor Knew About My Homosexuality

“During my upbringing, I heard a few fiery sermons on homosexuality. These days, I hear declarations of love instead. They make me shout for joy. Amen! It always should have been so!
