I would like to draw your attention to Brad Littlejohn’s rejoinder to my post here. That rejoinder is down in the comments. This was my post on how an Obama vote disqualifies a man from ministry. Thanks to Brad for the comments, and for the opportunity for me to follow up on my initial post. …

Sacramental Living
“Though there are only two sacraments, they give sacramental significance to our entire lives” (For a Glory and a Covering, p. 146).
School Rules Are Not the Answer
