The Feckless Evangelical Bridge
So there is an interesting discussion going on out there about the curse declared upon the woman in Genesis 3:16. I don’t exactly have a dog in the fight, but I might have a cat to set among the pigeons because I might have a dogma in the fight. I only ask, running counter to …

On the Duty of Obeying Nature
In my recent post on the surgical rape of nature, someone in the comments asked what I thought to be a pertinent question. Why would I come out swinging at something like transgender surgeries as a “rape of nature” when in other circumstances I have shown myself to be quite open to GMOs, Frankenfoods, and …

And Now a Brief Word for the Wife Beaters
It would not be exactly accurate to say that I posted my 21 theses on submission in marriage and then skipped town. But there would be some elements of truth in such a hazarded guess nonetheless. I wrote the post last week, and scheduled it to appear Monday morning. But then Sunday after church, Nancy …
21 Theses on Submission in Marriage
The teaching of Scripture on this subject is perspicuous and plain. What God requires of us in our marital duties is taught in multiple places, and not in obscure ways. We live in a time when honest exegesis is routinely threatened with calumny, and there are frequently honors and rewards for dishonest exegesis. It …
