Read MoreThe Contemplation of the Good, Beautiful, and True
The latest issue of Credo Magazine focuses on Christian Platonism. The following is one of the issue’s featured book reviews by Scott Meadows.

Read MoreThe Art of Sermon Illustrations
Sermon illustrations are one of the most challenging aspects of preaching, in my opinion.

At the last Together for the Gospel conference, I attended a panel conversation entitled, Together in an Age of Division. The panelists were Nate Akin, Brian Davis, Dustin Messer, Andrew Walker and Joe Rigney. Each of the panelists made worthwhile contributions to the conversation, but it is the reflections of the last two names that inspired…
