Scholarship on the Reformed tradition, God’s sovereignty, and human freedom is a bit of a cottage industry these days. There is much diversity of opinion within this scholarship concerning how the Reformed accounted for their view of human freedom. In my estimation, the diversity of this scholarship is (finally) beginning to reveal that there was a diversity of opinion on human freedom within the Reformed tradition itself. This is why ... the framers of the Reformed confessions were careful to formulate their positions on this point so that theologians of differing opinions could sign on.

The US Is 5 Years Away from a National Debt Death Spiral. Here's Why
Net interest on the national debt has become one of the fastest growing segments of federal spending.

Entrepreneurs Are the Only Ones Who Can Disrupt the Status Quo
As much as many parents and educators would like to believe that meaningful reforms can occur within the mass compulsory schooling model, real education innovation occurs most successfully and enduringly through the private sector. Free from state curriculum requirements, standardized testing mandates, and restrictions on hiring and firing, private educational organizations are able to experiment and innovate, with parents as the key stakeholders to ensure accountability.

A set of measles outbreaks in Washington state, New York City, and elsewhere, is making national headlines and frightening parents around the United States.
