“A Triumph Over the Pharisees? Why Julia Baird is Wrong About Christian Support for Same-Sex Marriage”Religion & Ethics
“Most things written by ABC journalist and Fairfax columnist Julia Baird are thoughtful and compelling. She is an important voice – and a Christian one, at that – in this country.

“Netflix Thinks You’re Bored and Lonely”The Gospel Coalition
“At a conference sponsored by the Wall Street Journal last year, Reed Hastings, the CEO of Netflix, offered a purpose statement for his entertainment juggernaut: ‘Fundamentally, we’re about eliminating loneliness and boredom….That’s what entertainment does.’ Eliminating boredom and loneliness. Chew on that for a while, and you’ll realize that only one of these issues is truly a problem, while the other is actually an opportunity.”
