“It is too often the case that we follow Christ when pocket change is involved, but dismiss the demands of discipleship when real money starts to alter our exegesis.”

That Mystery Handshake
“Too many Christians think that regeneration, or good intentions, or having a nice personality will somehow make your memory perfect, or will prevent you from getting hit by a truck. Suppose you get hit by that truck, and your heirs and your partner’s heirs are all trying to figure out what that handshake fifteen years ago meant. So write it down. This does not make you suspicious and unloving. God loves us perfectly, and He still wrote it down.”

The Golden Rule, With Adjustments
Dear Dawson, If you are any kind of a Christian at all, you know about the Golden Rule. All kinds of people know about the Golden Rule, in fact, including many unbelievers. What many people do not ...

What Cream Does
“The Bible teaches us that cream rises. This is not because cream has anything to boast of, but rather because of how God created and governs His world . . . Cream rises because of the blessing of God. The point is to seek the blessing of being cream, and then secondarily, after that, seeking blessing that comes to cream. You never want to strive to be skim milk, and yet somehow rise like cream.”

Dogged Commitment
“If that growing alternative culture is to be Christian, there must be a dogged commitment to the centrality of true Christian education. Education is one of the central instruments given to us by God for the establishment and perpetuation of a culture. And if we want the culture to be believing, then the education that feeds into it must be believing.”

On Going Where You Are Going
“America has cancer bad, and what would be our disease-ridden lymph nodes? The answer to that question is pretty plain, or at least for those willing to repent of the ongoing denial and look straight at the MRI. The answer is our godless educational system, K-12, which is then augmented and brought to a corrupt fruition by our Christless system of higher education. So if you want to get more of what you are getting, go ahead and keep on doing what you are doing. But at least have the decency to stop complaining about what the harvesters keep bringing in from the fields. Who planted that crop in the first place?”
