Theology That Bites Back
We should begin by noting that sin doesn’t make sense. If it made sense, it wouldn’t be sin. In a similar way, lust doesn’t make sense because lust doesn’t try to make sense. It doesn’t even try to reason. Lust wants, and it wants what it wants whether or not those desires comport with the …
The MEMO: In regards to your delightfully understated post “A Dumpster Full of Grease Fire,” I could not help but do a little further reading. Thank you for the links to the “FISA Memo” as well as the commentary from the Federalist which were included in your post; anyone who did not take the time …
Introduction: We are living in a time of sexual bedlam, sexual madness. The frenzy that has captured the Western world has many manifestations—open marriages, pornography, same sex mirage, robo-sex, trannies, and worse. My point is not to get into all these deviations in order to attack or refute them point by point. My point is …
Consider Logos Online: Logos really is a trusted name in classical Christian education. That is the case for our flagship school here in Moscow, and it is also true for Logos Online. Bible Reading Challenge: The Ladies Fellowship of Christ Church have been working through the Bible together. They have put together a remarkable compilation …
Dear Grady and Janae, Thanks for driving over last weekend. It was very good to see you after so many years, and we certainly enjoyed all the catching up. We are grateful that all your kids are settled and doing well, and that the grandkid “gig,” as you put it, is as rewarding as it …

Theocracy n’Stuff: Well put, Pastor Doug, especially your conclusion: “God is being kind to us, and He is doing it in such a way as to preclude boasting on our part.” The word picture you created in your prior post along these same lines about no conservative Christian wanting to be photographed with Pres Trump …
Introduction: The Wall Street Journal has established that it was likely that Donald Trump had a fling with a porn star a few years back, and that she was paid a tidy sum to keep her mouth shut about it. But as far as I can tell, the story has caused barely a ripple. Even …
Russell Moore & Theocracy: Sir, I read Russell Moore’s article regarding theocracy that you linked to, and I am a bit aghast. How can anyone who has read the Bible make any such blanket and universal condemnation against theocracy in any and every form (i.e., his critique “also is true of every theocracy.”)? Does Mr. …
One of the great scriptural principles in ethics is the one about not kidding yourself. This is particularly important for marriage, for reasons I hope to explain shortly. Here is Paul’s way of putting it: “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of …
