One of Saul Alinsky’s rules was that the activist should always make his adversary live by his own purported rules. In the case of what Christians are currently up against, one of the secularist rules is their so-called commitment to free speech. They are quite pleased with themselves about that commitment, and preen themselves in …
Swamp Whackadoo
In the post-Obergefell era, there are two basic areas of scriptural understanding where evangelicals really need to get up to speed. I will only mention them here, and briefly outline the problem, but hopefully more development can follow in the weeks to come. As we go along, I also hope to be recommending books here …
Up to Our Knees
In my recent reply to Matthew Vines, one of my responses that got kind of a reaction in a number of places was my answer to his sixteenth question. 16. Do you think supporting same-sex marriage is a more serious problem than supporting slavery? Yes, far more serious. This was taken by some as a …

The Fact of a Secret Courtship
In the controversy over the mistreatment of Natalie Greenfield by Jamin Wight, one of the central points of the dispute is Natalie’s contention that there was no secret courtship.
