So ESPN sacked Curt Schilling because he shared a meme on Facebook that ran contrary to the current égalipée movement. I may not agree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right . . . actually, we don’t say that much anymore, do we? But I need to go on record …
The Pride of Life in a Codpiece
As the bathroom wars continue to unfold, and as the advocates of totalitolerance continue to embrace the arts of coercion, as they continue to bombard us with ideas so fine they have to be mandatory, it has been natural for Christians to try to pivot. Perhaps we shouldn’t be opposing same sex mirage. Perhaps we …
Parade Ground Generals
“What we need are some Levites with the sword of the Spirit to ascend into their pulpits and fix it. But that might require some courage, and so as a proposed alternative we have built a conference circuit, and a series of networks and coalitions, and let’s not forget the blogs, where we have all …

These Things Are Hard
Geopolitical Trash Talk

Two Boats and a Helicopter
This is what it looks like when you hit a nerve. A couple days ago I put forward 7 reasons why young men should marry 6 years earlier (on average) than they are doing now. This was hailed by some as the best thing they have heard in a long time, and denounced by others …
Jerusalem Had a Wall
So what can we learn about our controversy over illegal immigration from what the Bible tells us about the gift of tongues?
