A couple of evenings ago I read Rick Love’s response to John Piper’s thoughts on “Loving God and Neighbor Together: A Christian Response to ‘A Common Word Between Us and You.’” (“A Common Word Between Us and You” is available at http://www.acommonword.com/.) One portion caught my attention: Q: The Yale Response seems to imply that […]
Free Upgrade from Logos Bible Software OC to ND

Are You a Practical Modalist?
