GOP Debate, Islamic Violence, and Advent

I know it’s a busy time of year, so I’ll highlight some of the best columns on the Stream this week. As always, our goal is to keep you inspired and informed as we prayerfully seek to share God’s wisdom.

• John Zmirak reviews this week’s GOP debate and asks, “Is America magic?“
• Michael Brown takes a brilliant look at verses of violence in the Bible and compares them with those in the Quran.
• And in the spirit of Christmas, a history professor examines the role of music in the celebration of Advent.

Be blessed this week and have a Christ-filled Christmas!
