Knowledge, Freedom & Jazz

As a child, I heard a church member tell my father: “Pastor, I do not wish to learn any more than I already know about the Bible.” Looking with a straight face at that gentle-giant of a man, Rev.

WRF Member Leah Farish Asks "Is 'The Benedict Option' Really an Option?"

Orthodox (as in Russian Orthodox) author Rod Dreher’s new book, The Benedict Option, released on March 14, has rightly generated lots of discussion even among Reformed folks.  Based on the assumption that American culture is getting more hostile to the Body of Christ and to learning and civility, Dreher says that

WRF Member D. Clair Davis Urges Us To "Tell the Truth About Jesus"
