Take Tim Challies To School Day

Most of us have heard some version of the saying: “There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.” While the spirit of the phrase seems virtuous enough at a passing glance, it’s important for us to understand that, in certain contexts, there are indeed stupid questions, and that some of those questions are dangerously stupid […]

Evander!

Evander MacLean Buss was born on Tuesday, November 27, at 11 p.m., joining siblings Rosie (5), Wolfgang (3), and Sebastian (1), who got to meet him for the first time on Wednesday night.

Signs Of Our Culture Of Death
