“Obedience and disobedience on the part of a husband does not make him a head or not a head. He is a head regardless. But he can be an obedient head or disobedient head. He can be a head who tells the truth about Christ in his sacrificial love, or he can be a head …
What It Says and No More
“We must bring to bear upon men’s minds as a part of God’s Word, only what the text really means, as best we can ascertain it” (Broadus, Preparation and Delivery, p. 65).
Two Billion?
Within the last week, I posted something that referenced Hugo Chavez dying with 2 billion dollars in his “pockets.” A friend has let me know that that little tidbit that I had picked up on the web was, shall we say, inadequately sourced. If you want to read more, here you go. So you all …
Water is Thicker Than Blood
Thabiti has not only been a faithful and charitable interlocutor, he is also a formidable one. I thank God for him. Again, let me begin with a summary of his most recent contribution. This is my understanding of his most recent post. Thabiti believes that many of my different issues are more easily distinguishable than …
Adoni-bezek’s Thumbs and Toes
My ongoing thanks to Thabiti for his gracious and intelligent disagreements with what I have written on this subject of race and slavery.

Thabiti has very graciously continued our conversation, and so I refer you to his latest, which is here. I have written most of my response, but will probably not be able to finish it until the morning. It has been kind of a circus maximus day, and so thanks for your patience.
Amen to the Seventeenth Power
We have gotten to the point where raw power has become the foundational principle of governance — the ruling class does whatever they can get away with, which is quite a bit. A picture of a monster stack of all the Obamacare regulations was recently circulating on the Internet, and I think it was Jonah …
The Designated Ambition Pole
In the brief moment of calm that has descended upon our discussion about race and slavery, a calm that was provided to us by the weekend, I thought I should insert a quick comment here on what it was that made me think it was a good idea (back in the mid-nineties) to go into …
Spiritual Disciplines: Work
INTRODUCTION:God breathed the breath of life in Adam, and he became a living soul (Gen. 2:7). Having created him as a living soul, He gave him an abundance of food to eat (Gen. 1:29). The third thing that happened was that God gave him a task (Gen. 2:15). His immediate task was to tend the …
God Doesn’t Care
Given the grace and goodness of God the Father in giving us the sacrifice of Jesus, and given the work of the Holy Spirit in the gospel offer to all men, the only sin that is damnable is the sin of perpetual hardheartedness—the sin of rejecting grace, and willfully remaining in unbelief. The wrath of …
