Last week, we marked two years of publishing this blog. As we celebrate, we’ve also gone back through older posts, pulling out those that were popular among readers.
Today I want to conclude the Blogiversary theme with two last posts.
The first has to do with current events. I enjoy writing about happenings in our world through a biblical worldview.
Most readers enjoy reading those posts, too. One of my most popular current events posts goes back to the summer of 2014.
Hobby Lobby and the Kingdom of God
For many in our world, the idea of religion as an influencer of public policy is frightening.

And Christians with convictions are in the crosshairs of public opinion.”

The second post is based upon a theme that’s near and dear to me: Christian education and the work we’re doing at Trevecca Nazarene University. This post is one of my favorites and I’m glad it’s one of your favorites, too.

We are seeing triple digit growth and are breaking all-time records for freshman enrollment, undergraduate enrollment, and total enrollment. The high-water marks of last year will soon trail the new numbers for this year.”
