4. The Evangelical Reconcilers was a piece explaining how key leaders in the evangelical world attempt to build rapport with the secular world but end up taming evangelicalism so that it can be reconciled with the broader culture. This means that Evangelicalism is not changing the broader culture, but bowing down to it. 

3. Pastor Toby wrote a piece defending John MacArthur’s famous response to Beth Moore “Go Home.” The article was widely shared and read. In fact, the web traffic crashed Toby’s blog for a time so he asked us to share it here at the blogazine as well. His original post can be found here at his blog.

2. This year Chick-Fil-A went from being a Christian conservative ally to a capitulator to the gaystapo. Rhett Burns explains what happened. This moves Chick-Fil-A from being a symbol of resistance to an example of what happens when we try to appease the other side.
