God created the world. He spoke the heavens and the earth into existence, and this should be the starting point of all our reasoning. As a practical matter, it needs to be our starting point, for had we not been created . . . we couldn’t start. As the capstone of His creative … [Read more...]
Happy Valentine’s Day, Lust Monkeys
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 … [Read more...]
Tangled Marriages
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 … [Read more...]
Unregenderate Nation
Introduction Let us begin with a truth that was once considered both obvious and self-evident. Scripture teaches us that trees bear fruit in accordance with their nature. And according to the Lord, human nature comes in two forms—good and bad. There are other variables in our … [Read more...]

Introduction: Allow me to begin with the heads up. If you are squeamish about some of the more tawdry things that are being done on a massive scale all around us, not to mention those things being done to us, and would prefer to keep your gaze averted, at least for the time … [Read more...]
Gospel for Snowflakes
The irony is this. The only way for us to declare a gospel for snowflakes is by seeing that there is no way for the gospel to be preached by snowflakes. This requires unpacking, and so please allow me. In Scripture, the gospel is the objective good news of salvation. It is the … [Read more...]
A Brief Statement for the Organizers of the Next Big Women’s March
Introduction Many years ago, when I was still in college, I was taking some class or other and a debate arose in class, and in that discussion I was maintaining a biblical position about whatever it was. In response, a young woman wheeled on me and said, “You Christians are just … [Read more...]
Hot Take
This is just a very brief comment on the Alabama election. There will no doubt be other things to say, but it would be best to let all the pieces fall out of the sky first. The most important issue for me is not so much whether Jones was elected or Moore, but rather what … [Read more...]
