Theology That Bites Back
Introduction: Scripture teaches that the flocks of God are precious, and they are precious because of what it took to purchase them. “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own …
Introduction: Last week I posted something called Potiphar’s Wife, Survivor, which elicited something of an enthusiastic reaction. That reaction was registered in different places, like Facebook, Twitter, and in the comments section here, and a noticeable bit of it ran down the lines of the eff-you-Doug school of thought. Not only was it registered in …
The field of cyber-archeology is both exciting and promising. As more and more ancient servers are being discovered and the contents translated, the more we are discovering about ancient customs and laws. In addition, we are discovering that many ancient tales had another side to the story. Here is an excerpt from the personal blog …

How He does this is truly remarkable, and as we enter into the spirit of this psalm we find ourselves right at the heart of the gospel.

Betsy DeVos, our new president’s nominee for Secretary of Education, is not a product of our government school system. She attended private school herself.

She is, therefore, according to some of our education bureaucracy mavens, not a suitable choice to …
Eve in Exile and the Restoration of Femininity by Rebekah Merkle My rating: 5 of 5 stars I read portions of this in manuscript, but have been working away at the final version since it came out. And it is, of course, fantastic. Now one of you will say to me that I am rating …
If I might, I would like to deal with a number of issues at one fell, as they say, swoop. In the culture wars, the central battle is the battle over the dictionary. We are in a fight to the death over the authority to define. Shall it be God, or shall it be man? …
Introduction: “The fear of man bringeth a snare: But whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe” (Prov. 29:25). This is of course true—being Scripture as it is. But it also needs to be pointed out that in another sense the fear of woman bringeth two or three snares. I am writing on …
