Michael Horton has influenced my life for the good in so many ways that if I could meet him in the flesh I would most probably just want to shake the man’s hand off of him or embrace him with a brotherly hug (for all you wise-guys out there you can save the gay jokes [...]

Solus Christus – Christ Alone
As evangelical faith becomes secularized, its interests have been blurred with those of the culture.
