Introduction: One of the men in that Founders trailer said something like this. “If we can take a clear passage that says ‘I do not permit a woman to teach” and turn it into something like ‘I ...
Southern Baptist Letters
A warm Tuesday greeting to all of you Blogtonians. One of the things we have learned lately is that many people are interested in what is happening in the Southern Baptist Convention. Not only so, but they write letters about it.
The Full Ascol
Introduction: The title of this post was almost “As White as a Woke Southern Baptist.” That would have reflected a proverb that might be circulating throughout the tribe of Judah even now. And if we didn’t do something, and fast, it would not be long before the proverb would have to be changed to “as …
The Effeminacy of Silence
Introduction: I suppose the title might take some explaining, but if the post can’t explain a title like that, then what are we all doing here? Let me say at the outset that this is not a post about overt effeminacy—effeminacy of the lisping mincing kind. If that kind of thing were a virus, then …
Eve in Exile
Eve in Exile sets aside all stereotypes of mid-century housewives, of China-doll femininity, of Victorians fainting, of women not allowed to think for themselves or talk to the men about anything interesting or important.

The Content Cluster Muster (7.18.19)

Aaron and Elin
There is a reason why we see so many unhappy marriages today, and that reason has to do with the impotence of idols. Idols always promise to hang the moon, but idols uniformly fail to deliver. Not only do they fail to deliver, but one of the first things they usually fail to deliver is …
Epistles from You Guys
Beth Moore: I’m sure you’re aware of the most recent Beth Moore kerfuffle over on SBC Twitter. Beth has revised her already scant teaching on the topic of homosexuality to bring it into conformity with the spirit of this age, which is to say, she has entirely removed it from her lexicon and her bibliography …
Murder on the Orientation Express
Introduction: Comes now the Amazon Death Star with news that they will no longer carry books by a gent named Joseph Nicolosi, the founder of what has come to be called conversion therapy. Conversion therapy or reparative therapy for minors (therapy designed to reverse homosexuality) is now illegal . . . oh, in loads of …
