Dr. Bacon, I agree with everything you say. I think all the positions you so eloquently hold are well-reasoned and wise. And, I don't think that the list...

Pastor Pierce (et al): It seems to me that you are right that all of these issues are matters of Christian Liberty as opposed to absolutes. I don't think,...
... Dear Pastor Cassidy, My personal opinion is that we should use wine whenever possible, while at the same time honoring the magistrate (1 Pet. 2:17). I can...
Dear Ken, please call me "Richard" or "Pastor" -- "Dr. Bacon" sounds like some old guy. 6.) YOu mean you have never met a Van Tillian or Clarkian who didn't...
