Theology That Bites Back
Happy Fourth!: I prefer to say “these united States,” emphasizing both the plurality and the preeminence of the States over the Federation. And thank you so much for that passing nod to our federation. I wonder many times if it might be proper to regain that “Federal Vision” once more, only in a different vein… …
The Second Most Obvious Thing About Leggings: “This leggings parade is not (in most instances) a personal and lascivious ‘screw me’ invitation. It is an insolent and culture-wide ‘screw you’ that is aimed at the patriarchy and men in general.” Boom. I love how you can take arguments out of the same old surface back …
Introduction and a Short List: I thought to use this space to inveigh against mixed metaphors, but also thought that some of my adversaries might charge me with a hypocritical inconsistency. So let me try a few other things out on you. I believe the vast majority of professing Christian wives would be a lot …

For more info, go here . . . For as long as I can remember we have been praying for reformation and revival in the church. While I have longed to see the Lord answer that prayer I have also felt the distant and intangible nature of the request. What could we actually do to …
Dear Garrett, Thanks for the letter. It is good hear from you, and yes, I do have a few thoughts on your situation. We have your wife’s perspective already—Nancy has related to me the outlines of what Angie has been posting on social media for the last six months. The bottom line there is that …
I am writing to invite you to join a number of us on an edifying joint venture this summer. We began the Bible Reading Challenge a couple years ago, and it has enjoyed some remarkable successes thus far. According to numerous reports that we have received, it has been a transformative exercise, and this coming …
“God did not create two men, and so homosexuality is excluded. He did not create Adam and three women, and so polygamy is excluded.
