You Keep Using That Word. I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means.
The thing I want to discuss is the reaction to her. Kim Davis has been labeled a hypocrite for a reason that seems right. She has been divorced, not once but three times. With a record like that the hypocrisy label stuck quite nicely.

It’s Time To Rub Shoulders With Unbelievers
This is commons sense. Is it not? In order for us to share the good news of what Jesus has done we need to know and talk with people who need to know the good news of what Jesus has done. We have to have contact with people who need Jesus if we are going…

A Look At Repentance From Spurgeon

The problem with the Law is that it seems to overpromise. As Luther says here, it “promises rain but gives none”. We will oftentimes get in the mindset of working as hard as we can to earn God’s favor by keeping the Law as best we can. We forget that we can’t keep God’s Law…
