In the aftermath of the report on sex abuse in the Houston Chronicle, it seems that the Southern Baptist Convention is cleaning house. If you read through this article at Christianity Today, it appears that many of the reforms they are undertaking are common sense. It appears that way to me, at any rate. No …
The Salvation of Emeth
Introduction: One episode in the Narnia stories has caused no little consternation for evangelical parents as they have read to their children, and that element of the story concerns the salvation of Emeth. On another occasion, I discussed the curious fact of Susan’s absence from the heavenly regions in The Last Battle. A second curious …
Mere Hellfire
Introduction: The doctrine of eternal punishment is one that is widely known, or at least the broad outline of the doctrine is widely known. That is, if you were to ask the average person what “Hell” is, they would be able to reply that it was the purported place of punishment in the afterlife. And …

From the Digital Mailbag
Trump, Naturally: I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016. If things continue on the current course, I can see myself likely pulling the lever for him in 2020, especially considering the neo-socialist, pro-Molech, non-binary gender alternative the opposing party is likely to put forward. CSarge Yes, I agree that this is the issue before us. …
