Rachel Held Evans died last week as the result of a severe allergic reaction to some medications. She was a very popular blogger, she was on a really unfortunate theological trajectory, and she was only 37 when she died. Where I would like to begin is with a prayer that the family and loved ones …
Okay Then. Define “Leftward.”
Introduction: In the aftermath of this post on Wednesday, a discussion broke out on Twitter, the center of which was helpful. I want to thank both Joe Carter and Justin Taylor for engaging with the piece, and I hope that this post will help bring more clarity to the situation. I participated in those threads, …
The Old Tuesday Letters Ploy
Abortion Really Does Matter: Concerning “Why Abortion Matters So Much.” I’m a young man, headed to college soon; considering all of these things, considering why abortion is such a big deal, why it’s such a terrible thing, a question has entered my mind.

The Twitter Twirlies
A few things have become increasingly clear to me in the aftermath of my most recent post on Rachael Denhollander and her continued efforts to get C.J. Mahaney. I bring this up because . . . well, because ...
You Write the Letters and Then I Post Them
The Microsoft Thou Gavest Me: I believe that some afghans would make a room more comfortable, but for most people, Afghans, unless carefully chosen, would not.

And as a sage once observed, if there are twelve clowns in a circus ring cavorting about, you can jump down there and start …
Lig Duncan, Woke Forewords, and the Dikai-Word Group
Introduction: Let’s begin by juxtaposing a few things, shall we? I have been arguing of late that Christians who are in the process of folding (like that cheap card table bought at a yard sale) use the word woke as a good word, representing either a good thing, or a thing that Christians can retrieve …

Gather Round, My Children, for I Would Tell You the Tale of Robert Mueller
Gather round, my children, for I would ‘splain something to you. Over the last week or so, in the aftermath of the delivery of the Mueller report, there has been a great deal of jubilant jollity in some quarters and tearful turbulence in others. Trump supporters have been out in the streets dancing, followed immediately …
