Hiring Out the Christian Life? – Cal Thomas
It is now possible to live a “christian life” without doing the things that Jesus commanded us to do. We have hired people to go into all the world, to visit those in prison, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to care for widows and orphans. The average Christian doesn’t have to do it.

A Good Sermon Gives Offense – George Whitefield
It is a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher.
