A long time ago in a lifetime far, far away, I was a Republican. I stood in line for an hour or so–and was happy to do it–to be able to cast my first presidential vote for Ronald Reagan against the dangerous Walter Mondale. The primary reason he was dangerous, I guess, is because he was perceived as weak on defense issues. He was socially liberal being for everything I was against and against...
“All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined… could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

The resolved was that social justice is integral to the gospel. Wallis took the affirmative, while Mohler, reluctantly in his own admission, took the “no” position. Mohler rightly stated that the term social justice is not mentioned in the Bible. Neither, I might add, is economic justice, civic justice, or the...
Since the end of the world new changes to Facebook were announced this week at the f8 Conference the typical “Why can’t they just leave well enough alone?” mantras have lit up status updates everywhere. (And, as a brief aside, I cannot believe the number of people who are in creative jobs who complain every time Facebook rolls out a new change like a Mafia don about a new competitor.)
