Theology That Bites Back
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 ...
“So not only are they lazy they are also lazy and entitled. And, to apply the old proverb to them it could be raining porridge and they’d have forgotten their bowl.”
Gashmu Saith It, p. 70
Letter to the Editor: Regarding She don't lie, Why the invasion? Putin doesn't want nukes in a NATO'ed Ukraine. Closer than Cuba to the United States. Kennedy felt the same in 1962. Pray ...
“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.”
Gashmu Saith It, p. 66
Introduction: What I would like to do here, Lord willing and the crik don't rise, is cover a few related or soon-to-be-related items. With the Russian aggression against Ukraine, this outbreak ...
“If that growing alternative culture is to be Christian, there must be a dogged commitment to the centrality of true Christian education.

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?”
Gashmu Saith It, p. 61
“And so here we are, right on schedule. It turns out that, however you might wish otherwise, you eventually wind up wherever it was you were going. If you get on the plane to Chicago, and I would urge you to follow me closely here, you are going to land in Chicago. We are now arriving where a godless education must necessarily go. The public schools in America were not secular, they were godless.”
Gashmu Saith It, p. 59
Dear Dawson, The next thing I would like to cover with you has to do with the broader issue of authority, hierarchy and submission, and how these Christian concepts are in a death match with every form of egalitarianism.
