Spiritual Birthday and Chick-fil-A: The Joy of Living Biblically

I remember when people called each other on a device called a rotary telephone. The first house Janet and I owned had a shelf built into a wall in the entryway where such a phone was meant to reside. You could get an extra-long cord that enabled you to walk into the kitchen while talking […]

Barring Families from Choosing Religious Schools is Wrong – And Unconstitutional

No state should discriminate against families that choose to send their children to a religious school. But that’s exactly what’s happening in Maine.
