The effeminacy of silence. American history demonstrates that American society has always approximated the overall tone of the Christianity generally practiced at the time. The effeminacy of silence, therefore, only mirrors that of the current milquetoast Christianity, one exacerbated by the female block’s ability to significantly neuter the male block.
Letters from You’uns
Book List?: If you were to create a list of books to equip men who are not able to attend seminary but yet have a desire to know God, to enjoy Him, and to help others do the same, what would it include? I’m thinking of a list along the lines of Dr. Eliot’s five …
Epistles from You Guys
Beth Moore: I’m sure you’re aware of the most recent Beth Moore kerfuffle over on SBC Twitter. Beth has revised her already scant teaching on the topic of homosexuality to bring it into conformity with the spirit of this age, which is to say, she has entirely removed it from her lexicon and her bibliography …
Believe It or Not, More Leggings Letters
Happy Fourth!: I prefer to say “these united States,” emphasizing both the plurality and the preeminence of the States over the Federation. And thank you so much for that passing nod to our federation. I wonder many times if it might be proper to regain that “Federal Vision” once more, only in a different vein… …
Letters on Leggings, Naturally
The Second Most Obvious Thing About Leggings: “This leggings parade is not (in most instances) a personal and lascivious ‘screw me’ invitation.

Jordan Jordan, I have a sidearm, but that fact cannot be ascertained from that photo. On Arrogance and Humility: Challenging and convicting, thank you, and the Holy Spirit for how …

Granted the Lord can provide from …
More Mailbaggery
Bible Reading Challenge: A regular reader here. Just wanted to write to say I’ll be taking part in the Bible Reading Challenge this summer. You write that “Tens of thousands of people are already involved in this movement. If it were hundreds of thousands, we would begin to see changes.” Perhaps (just perhaps) there are …
An Epistolary Time
Troubled Marriages: I just read “On Keeping Your Marriage From Becoming Troubled” (thank you) and I have a question. What happens if the bump is a significant kind of disobedience that doesn’t get resolved with the first conversation? If the wife is in error, the husband can correct her. But for a very long time …
Communication Can Be Hard
Let Us Speak of Hearth and Home: God of Hearth and Home: Where should I begin? First, I would like to say that my breakfast this morning was excellent, a warm sausage-and-egg sandwich with coffee done just right. I do like a good brew in the morning . . . wakes me right up and …
