Theology That Bites Back
Let us undertake, shall we, a study in contrasts. What I would like to do is compare the conservative desire to refrain from violating conscience in certain business transactions and the progressive desire (progressive, progressive . . . where were we going again?) to refrain from the same. As you may recall—it was quite a …
So let contemplate for a moment the coming opportunity to end human abortion in America. And let us also contemplate how the opportunity for this was created by the lack of impulse control on the left. But we must begin by noticing an instinctive and characteristic difference between conservatives and progressives. That difference is this. …
Warning: some normal people may find some of the contents of this point disturbing. Some well-adjusted people may want to skip this one. But I simply want to briefly expand on a marvelous point made by Dan Phillips on Twitter, a point that deserves much wider circulation. Liberalthink: 1. You need to have a vagina …
A couple days ago there were “women’s marches” all over the country. It was a very important event I hear tell. Momentous. Charged with meaning. Galvanizing. It was sort of like a Tea Party protest of the left, only without any particular point. There were lots of pink p**sy hats, and so I guess that …
Our state senator, Dan Foreman, caused a recent stir when it was reported that he was going to introduce a bill in the Idaho legislature that would make abortion first degree murder, not only for the doctor who performs it, but also for the woman who procures it.

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 …
You secularists are fond of using coercion to make evangelicals bake you a cake, right? That’s kind of your thing, isn’t it? Well, let me volunteer to make you one. I am calling it the cake of confusion, and it is a pretty large one. We shall have to feather the frosting on with a …
Given the continued attention the world and its lusts are paying to the subject of robosex and virtual sex, and the almost entire lack of preparedness on the part of the Church, I thought I should repost this piece from a couple years ago. C.S. Lewis was not just a winsome and engaging writer, a …
A few years back I wrote about the lawfulness of lying in certain circumstances. But it also goes without saying that the prohibition of false witness is in the Ten Commandments, and that unlawful lying is a big deal. Yesterday I wrote about Airbnb’s mandatory confession of faith before they will allow you to do …
