• If I could erase any man’s legacy from American Christianity, it would be Charles G. Finney

• Slow Cooker Faith, part 3: Burn Victims

  

  The one where I diagnose the burnouts and burn victims of the “on fire for Jesus” culture, and suggest a better way for sustaining an ordinary Christian life, rooted in the essential beliefs and pastoral realism of historic Christianity. This is what I call “Slow Cooker Faith.”
