Over the last few days, on the subject of racial reconciliation, a collision of sorts has occurred between Thabiti and me, and also between Thabiti and James White. The central issue is the same, but some of the details are not. I do commend James’ post to you all, and Thabiti’s … [Read more...]
Letters Feature Postponed a Week
Because things are hopping, and there is much to write about, and I wanted to respond (briefly) to Thabiti's rejoinder, the much beloved letters feature is going to appear next Tuesday instead of this Tuesday. Unless something else happens. … [Read more...]
And Some in Aramaic
“Now I don’t mean to indicate that the Christian faith is devoid of self-righteous fussers. Alack and alas! But at least our fussers have actually no excuse. They have memorized the Heidelberg Catechism in the original Greek, and so they should know” (Empires of Dirt, p. 237). … [Read more...]
Froth in a Storm
“You would think that an evolutionist would understand that the entire human race is just as meaningless as the froth in a storm on one of Jupiter’s molten seas. Both phenomena put on a show for nonexistent spectators, and then the lights go out” (Empires of Dirt, p. 237). … [Read more...]
Which is More Problematic?

Schedule Change
On Friday I teased that on Monday I was going to write more about the death penalty and our abortion laws. But because things are hopping out there, that has now been pushed back to Wednesday. On Monday, Lord willing, I want to respond to Thabiti's (profoundly) disappointing … [Read more...]
New Title: Letters on Homosexual Desire
As regular readers know, a short while ago I published here a series of (fictional) letters to a young Christian who had a homosexual past, and who was wanting to know how to deal with his temptations. That set of letters has just been added to the Mablog shop, available in EPub, … [Read more...]
Loving Your Creditors
When we live in tight community the way we do, it is not possible for this to happen without some of us becoming indebted to others of us. Scripture says we are to owe no one anything except the debt of love, and this either means no debt or no debt but what is fully consistent … [Read more...]
An Uncommon Common Meal
We are gathered here to eat the Lord’s Supper, not our own suppers. We all have homes of our own, and kitchens in them, and dining rooms. We have left behind our own food. This is not because we are ungrateful for it, but rather because we know that our food is not the food God … [Read more...]
