Paula Misses the Point: Regarding your snotty article that strangely still seems all too ready to shame people for rightly being horrified and indignant about the sexual sin and predation in the church . . . Steven Sitler. Maybe sackcloth and ashes would suit you better. Paula Paula, the point being made there was not …
7 Pitfalls of Christian Schools
Introduction: A couple years ago, I wrote a post entitled The 9 Pitfalls of Homeschooling. At that time, in a fine display of even-handedness, I promised that there would be a follow up post outlining the pitfalls of Christian schools. I said: “Please allow me to say that there will be a follow-up and parallel …
Letters for a Tuesday
You Say You Want a Revolution I apologize that this comment is somewhat removed from the article to which it is attached, but I have been considering a related question since Cuomo signed this atrocity. You may recall that toward the end of Lewis’ Perelandra, Ransom comes to the revelation that his possessed enemy, Weston, …
Distance Learning Across the Centuries
Introduction: We have now stumbled into our third in a series of four lectures, I trust somewhat happily. The first was entitled An Inescapable Burden of Glory, as you no doubt recall, and it addressed the necessity that God has placed upon all of us, and within each of us—that of seeking glory somehow, somewhere. …
Let’s Just Call It Terrific Tuesday
Whiteness at the Intersection: Interesting thoughts on the whiteness of intersectionality. I have felt this sentiment in my gut for some time, but here it is all laid out in words.

The Unbearable Whiteness of Intersectionality
Introduction: As I am going to be writing quite a bit about whiteness here, you may well wonder why this piece is tagged under “Sex and Culture” in the first instance, and “Race and Culture” second. I trust that things will become more obvious as we proceed. The word whiteness, as I will be using …
Just Another Tuesday, Just More Letters
Trump, Pence and Compromise I think the part about Obama not having any sex scandals was intended to convey that whatever your disagreements with him on abortion and gay marriage, there’s never been any suggestion that Obama is personally anything other than a faithful, loving husband and father, unlike the current occupant of the White …
A Few Brief Words on Behalf of Karen Pence
Introduction: Some might wonder why I am not writing about Martin Luther King today. It is actually one of my initial forays into intersectionality. I do need to grant at the outset that Karen Pence has done a great deal to bring on the enmity that is currently being aimed at her. After all, she …
Wokescold Gillette and the Misplaced Antithesis
Introduction: Gillette has decided to join the ranks of all the wokescold corporations, and they did this by rolling out an ad campaign admonishing men to do better. Be better. C’mon, guys. And a few days before that, the American Psychological Association determined that traditional masculinity, on the whole, was a net minus, and that …
The Letters Continue to Come Forth
Emeth and All: I once listened to a liberal preacher from a liberal denomination expound on John 14:6 and point to the “conclusion” that we cannot say Jesus meant belief involving conscious awareness is required to come to the Father through Him. He would not quite say that is not, he just questioned it in …
