“I have been seeing a lot of . . . what might be called china-doll feminism . . . Feminism began by insisting that women could do everything the men can do, I-am-woman-hear-me-roar stuff, and has ended by weepily entreating all its sob sisters to repair themselves to the fainting couches, where trained counselors in …
Those BioLogos Unbelievers
Introduction: Eugene Genovese once wrote that, during his atheist days, whenever he was in the company of a liberal Christian, he always felt that comfortable sense that he was in the presence of a fellow unbeliever. Unbelief is a thing. And that matter of faith is always the basic issue. One of the New Testament …
Letters in November
An Overview : Thank you! We, as Christian Americans, must publicly and graciously stand up for our Biblical beliefs, such as: (1) marriage is of two biologically different genders (male and female) Genesis, (2) the killing of a child (whether identified as fetus or baby) is simply a choice to kill a growing human being, …

That Couch . . .: Good morning sir, Love your blog. I have a daughter who really wants to know who does the music in your video with the burning couch? Thanks, Brian Brian, here you go. Loved the couch burning video but am concerned about young impressionable preachers imitating your style . . . …
Smash the Matriarchy
Introduction: When I was a young boy, our family didn’t own a television, which is why I was robbed of enjoying some of the greater cultural achievements of the mid-to-late-1950’s.

The obedient look for it precisely where He told us to …
No Vembers in November
No Nuance November There was another post about the upcoming “No Holds November.” Just wanted to drop a quick note saying I’m looking forward to it.

Three Approaches to Sexuality
Introduction: One of the very useful set of categories that I learned from the reconstructionists back in the day was the distinction to be made between the three different kinds of religion.

Our Editorial Team Prepares a Response
Enviro-Stewardship: Wow! A “toad-eating sell-out” if you claim our first vocation as gardeners implies stewardship of God’s gift of creation. Some guys get stupid around pretty girls, Pastor Wilson loses his mind when he gets around any discussion of environmental care. The careful, linear logic that I read daily at Blog & Mablog disintegrates into …
Gayer Than a Stack of Lavender Pancakes
When a local emporium, what should know better, displays a book like what you see there to your right, the public of course gets to take a look at it, and I gets to comment on it. Back when I was young, when you wanted to confuse people about which sex you were seeking to …
