"Before taking a road trip, it is a very good idea to have some idea of where you are going. Before rearing a son to be 'masculine,' it is equally important to have some notion of what that is . . . Manhood is where boyhood should be aimed" (Future Men, p. 13). … [Read more...]

"But in our day, many of these designed masculine traits are drilled or drugged out of him by the time he is ten. Faith resists this ungodly process and defines sin by the Scriptures and not by pietistic traditions" (Future Men, p. 11). … [Read more...]

"Not even God knows what is true. Remember that for postevangelicals, God is out of it and pretty groggy. True postmoderns know that He is dead, and that is why He does not view objective truth from His Nowhere House. But we in the postev milieu are still sensitively struggling … [Read more...]
