Some sins, Paul tells us, run out in front of a man, while others bring up the rear. Some are screamingly obvious, while others are more subtle (1 Tim. 5:24). This means that in Bible-believing churches, cavorting with prostitutes, shooting out street lights, and knocking off convenience stories is generally frowned upon. But other …
Apologetics Interview
For those interested in apologetics, there is a short interview with me here.
In Praise of Christmas Cash Registers
Or, another title could be, “The Death Knell of Gnosticism.” Scriptures commend those who have the eyes to see that which is unseen. But there is more than one kind of “unseen,” and we have to make sure we are not limiting the eye of faith to just the heavenly realities. It is good for …

Football Players or Pirates?
I don’t believe in complicating economic discussion more than is necessary. The Bible requires some form of capitalist society in the basic commandment, “Thou shalt not steal.” This command presupposes the institution of private ownership — private property as a divine institution — and sets up a fundamental protection against assaults on the right to …
When Gratitude Should Kill Envy
I don’t really know what is more out of kilter — nonbelievers looking at this kind of thing without enormous gratitude to God, or soft leftist believers refusing to look at this kind of thing because it throws a spanner into their politics of envy. We should remember that Jesus Himself said that gaining the …
