It's A Mess


The film “American Sniper” has generated a lot of controversy. That's good. The issues raised in the controversy are important. I'm not going to tell you what you think about that.

The Dragon of Chaos

The events in France once more focus our attention, as Christians, on our own internal narrative -- our understanding of the way the world works. It is to that internal narrative that we turn to tell us what our reaction to the horrors the news media bring us daily. What do we think a just reaction to terrorism would be?
