Culture Is An Expression Of Values

Quoting George Grant: Inevitably, cultures are an expression of the values of a people. The values are drawn out of traditions and habits and language of a people. A culture is a legacy of faith.

Worship Music Should Teach The Bible

From: The Pen of Dr. Alan D. Ingalls The lyrics of music selections for congregational worship have evidenced a regrettable lack of discernment in recent days.

Employee Free Choice Act?

From: The Pen of Gary Bauer Unfortunately, the Employee Free Choice Act is nothing like its title suggests. In fact, the bill will be used as a club to force the unionization of thousands of U.S. businesses, making them less competitive and driving up costs. That is reason enough to oppose the legislation, but if [...]
