    A Biblical Case for Nostalgia by Matt Borrusch

    Misunderstanding Church Discipline by Danny Steinmeyer

    "Discipline is definitely involved in “church discipline,” and it is not at all an unloving term. When we are unable to exhibit sufficient, godly self-discipline, then Scripture provides us with principles for disciplining one another in the body of Christ. Yet, another valid description of the process would be “biblical restoration,” because the heart of the church’s effort is to see a sinner restored to right standing with God and fellowship with the church body. "An audio reading of this article: https://truthscript.com/church/misunderstanding-church-discipline/For more content visit us: http://truthscript.com

Along with most Protestants in nineteenth-century America, Jackson saw no issue in petitioning the U.S. government (nor the general government of the Confederacy) to honor the Sabbath in civil life. "An audio reading of this article: https://truthscript.com/theology/stonewall-jackson-on-the-sabbath-and-national-blessing/For more articles visit us: http://truthscript.com

    Six Cautions for the New Christian Right by Jon Harris

    "This is not an exhaustive list of potential pitfalls, but they are the main ones I can see crippling the movement should they ever take root.
