I Believe the Bible Requires Me to Avoid Movies, and If You Go See a Movie You Don’t Believe the Bible – Huh?

By D. G. Hart | Published: November 16, 2010

I learned 2k from J. Gresham Machen. If 2k critics were to spend a little time with the chief founder of Westminster Seminary they might be less alarmed. They might also see in the mirror staring back at them the liberal Protestants who tried Machen for breaking his ordination vows. Here is where 2k critics… Read More→

More 2K Hysteria

By D. G. Hart | Published: November 8, 2010

When This and That Comes Home

By D. G. Hart | Published: February 24, 2010

The best college basketball coach in the United States works in Philadelphia and no one knows about him. Congratulations to Herb Magee for winning his 903rd game at Philadelphia University. His closest competitor is Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski with 856 wins. But does Herb get to do ads for American Express? I don’t think so. Rabbi… Read More→
