Introduction: For those late to the party, I wrote last week (9/18/19) about the slaves of Jonathan Edwards. This excited comment, and so I followed it up with a piece on white supremacy (9/23/19). ...
Communication Can Be Hard
Let Us Speak of Hearth and Home: God of Hearth and Home: Where should I begin? First, I would like to say that my breakfast this morning was excellent, a warm sausage-and-egg sandwich with coffee done just right. I do like a good brew in the morning . . . wakes me right up and …
Woke, Not Woke
The third chapter of Woke Church is really quite good, and therein lies a tale. I want to commend Eric Mason in this, and for two things. First, in my interaction a few years ago with Thabiti, I pressed the point that Scripture really does contain more than a few angular texts when it comes …
Okay Then. Define “Leftward.”
Introduction: In the aftermath of this post on Wednesday, a discussion broke out on Twitter, the center of which was helpful.

Letters in November

We, as Christian Americans, must publicly and graciously stand up for our Biblical beliefs, such as: (1) marriage is of two biologically different genders (male and female) Genesis, (2) the killing of a child (whether identified as fetus or baby) is simply a choice to kill a growing human being, …
Nuanced November Letters
That Couch . . .: Good morning sir, Love your blog. I have a daughter who really wants to know who does the music in your video with the burning couch? Thanks, Brian Brian, here you go. Loved the couch burning video but am concerned about young impressionable preachers imitating your style . . . …
Always More Letters
Roe Stuff: I’m not so sure overturning Roe would have that effect. To be sure the pro-abortionists will curse and howl, and march and boycott, but it would not have to make interactions between states more difficult.
