On the Number of Zygote Deaths and the Meaning of Pro-Life
Matthew Lee Anderson;
What does it mean to be “pro-life”? Judging by the recent conversation about contraception, it would be easy to think that the point and purpose of the pro-life position is to reduce abortions in the world.
But as important as that is to pro-lifers, it by no means encapsulates the entirety of the pro-life position.

How Would You Respond to This Hypocrite?
Mike Leake:
Imagine with me that you are a well-respected pastor. You’ve been serving at your church now for about eight years. Things are going well and you are beginning to gain respect in the larger world of evangelicalism.
A new pastor moves into a neighboring town. This new pastor is truly a hypocrite. He denies the Trinity and by his own confession he became a minister for the money, the ease, and the hopes of getting himself advanced in the literary world.
Plant the Church that Is, not the Church to Come
JD Payne:
Hasty expectations hinder the birth and multiplication of churches.
Plant your churches, just make sure they have all of this stuff, and these structures, and these activities, and these twenty-five marks, and these forty-one purposes, and this affiliation, and give that amount of money.
Such is okay when we start instant churches with long-term, Kingdom citizens.
