Journalist Brit Hume's Response to Critics

I don’t recall watching a Sunday morning news or commentary program for years, but in God’s providence I turned on the television four weeks ago, just a few minutes before Brit Hume made his now famous comments about Tiger Woods. I was amazed and grateful for what he said.

Christianity Today interviewed him about this, and the very hostile responses and ridicule from the late night comedians and others. I appreciated Brit Hume’s response. May we have more journalists like him, not less. Click here to read the interview.

It's not just Tiger Woods whose sins will be found out

I appreciate Tim Challies and his blog, and I liked what he had to say a week ago about Tiger Woods. I recommend that you check it out.

Disputable Matters in Romans 14: What They Are and What They Aren't

And hopefully we helped open up the passage. Different people bring different insights to a passage, and this passage is about differentness.
