“Collision” Highlights the Great Antithesis, by David L. Bahnsen
“The about-to-be released DVD, Collision, is an important work that I heartily commend. The immensely talented and passionate Darren Doane has directed a gripping piece highlighting the debate over God’s existence between Pastor Doug Wilson of Moscow, Idaho and the well-known secular writer, Christopher Hitchens.

Christ Our Refuge (How the Cities of Refuge Point to Christ)
Here is a link to a sermon I preached recently at Communion Presbyterian Church on the cities of refuge and how they point to Christ. The text is Joshua 20. The entire sermon is there but for some reason there is a couple minutes of silence in the middle. You may have to fast forward. The MP3 can also be downloaded at the link.
