Post by Nathan Rinne Part 1, 2, 3, 4… +++ Seeking Refuge from the Law’s Inherent Goodness in the “Hidden God”? (part 5) One might think that because of the nature of God’s law, given in Eden and still inscribed on human hearts today, Christ and the Holy Spirit should not ultimately be set against the law in any way.

The “Mansplaining” Approach to Female Modesty?: Go Duggars or Go Home?

Last updated on: November 15, 2018 at 7:20 am By nathanrinne

+++ Post by Nathan Rinne Okay, this post really isn’t about the Duggars, but they are a good hook I think! It, is, however, about the search for female modesty, a topic the Duggars are familiar with.

To begin our journey, please consider this extended quotation from Leslie’s Vernick’s The Emotionally Destructive Marriage: Married couples need freedom to thrive. I do not mean the... Read more

Last updated on: November 2, 2018 at 1:13 pm By nathanrinne
