We’ll start off with a barn-burner of an article by Carl Trueman. Here’s a quote: In short, there is a clear push to grant LGBTQ+ ideology a favored legal and cultural status that enforces it without compromise. It also labels any and all dissent as morally evil. You don’t have to be an Old Testament…
Not quite so many as last time, but here are some random pictures from the last week: The main ministry event was our first trip to camp since returning. Point of interest: The hat I’m wearing in this picture is made entirely of cork, was acquired on our trip to Portugal last September. View this…

A great breakfast with my parents, brother, and sister-in-law. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Andrew Comings (@andrewcomings) On the town…
