Once there were two young brothers, with one of them three years younger than the other. He was not only younger, but he was also slighter in build, and, though he was intelligent, he was not quite as sharp as his brother. They played a lot together, but in everything they did, the older brother …
One Provision of His Will
God has brought us together into the household of faith, and, like all households, we share a table together. But one common feature of most household tables going back into antiquity, is the feature of sibling rivalry. At the first Lord’s Supper, there were two sets of physical brothers—Peter and Andrew (Matt. 4:18), and James …
South Dakota and Pro Life Incrementalism
Many political observers, I think rightly, say that Roe is going to die the death of a thousand qualifications. Overall, the pro-life movement has taken an incrementalist approach, which I think wise and prudent. Way to go. But they appear to have lost sight of a little strategic something in the process. I believe we …
Trial By Internet
The Bible tells us that the man who is able to tame the tongue is able to deal with anything. The tongue is a restless evil, he says, full of poison. It sets the world on fire, and is set on fire by hell. As long as sin has been in the world, this has …

The tenth chapter of Hebrews really needs to be considered all together. In this chapter we find a great deal of the theology of our author coming together as part of an integrated whole. If we step back and get the big picture, we will see more than just the tenth chapter—we will begin to …

Getting to Know You
“With some of our technologies, the encounters are superficial and we are engaged little. Others, however, intensify these relations. This is true of television, some of whose characters become more real to us than the people next door, for our contact with the person whose image we see is far more sustained, and perhaps far …
Unattainable Randomness
“A godless, Christless cosmos — impossible even to imagine, even for the sake of argument — is a fragmented pile. Worse than a pile, it j^&%n*&i^5 — fully and completely senseless. Even such random keystrokes exhibit far more order than is conceivable without Him; they move in a straight line, left to right. Order and …

Kevin Swanson has some really good stuff to say here.
The Love of Death
“So relativism, in the realm of higher, secular education, has come to the end of its tether. And like a stupid but persistent dog, still alive but discouraged, the relativists keep yanking, trying to get free of the constraints imposed on them through God’s created order. Our secularist college and university system has a death …
