This set of observations was offered by David Gushee, an ethicist of some note with Mercer University. Not only are the homosexual activists declaring a premature victory in the sexual culture wars, but they have also begun discussions on how much damage we Christians did in the course of the fighting, and have begun to …
Michael and Jennifer
We live in a day when the institution of marriage is under assault. Not only are many powerful voices clamoring for a fundamental redefinition of marriage, we are also faced with the confusion of many Christians in how to respond to it. We know that something is drastically wrong, as though the whole world has …
A Little Black Twisty Thing
As Christians continue to process the ramifications of the Supreme Court’s supreme arrogance on the same sex mirage issue, one of the things we must continue to remember to do is review the basics. This of course will include constantly reviewing what the Scriptures explicitly teach on the matter of same sex sexual activity, but …
Just Like Tomorrow Morning Is
With the Supreme Court doing its part today to advance the homosexual agenda, while trying not to provoke a major backlash, as happened with Roe v. Wade, I thought a little encouragement for the saints might be in order. All this reminds us again that there is no political solution to what ails us. We …
The Dawn of a New Day
This is just a brief note about the Supreme’s latest on the same sex mirage issue. I don’t want to say very much before all the legal ramifications are clear (they appear to be mixed), but at the very least, the force of Scalia’s dissent should indicate that we are still in the hand basket, …

We like to flatter ourselves in our discontent, saying that the spirit of rebellion rises up within us because of all the things that are wrong. But the reality is the other way — things go …
Legally Speaking
“Not that they knew about it at the time, but Shattuck had pulled all their shirts up over their heads and rolled all their socks down, creating a little black wool bead around the tops of their expensive Italian shoes” (Evangellyfish, p. 164).
A Basic Character Trait
“Forgiveness comes from someone whose heart is disposed to kindness and tenderheartedness; we are therefore talking not merely about isolated acts of forgiveness, but also about a deep-rooted disposition to forgive. A forgiving heart is a character trait” (For a Glory and a Covering, p. 94).
And Not By Dumbing Down
“Learning how to preach to children may make them better preachers in general” (Broadus, Preparation and Delivery, p. 115).
Love and Liberty
“At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16: 11) The Basket Case Chronicles #119 “If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake. But if any man say unto you, This …
