The Pharisee Pharisees and the Way Back Home
Dear Exvangelicals, I’m probably the last person you’d want to hear from, an old school evangelical. I’m more conservative politically than the most ardent President Trump fanboy. Reformed, head of my home, still affirming that marriage is only between one … Continue reading

We Are Family: All My Brothers and Sisters and Me
Conservative Christians seeking a way to encapsulate our most fundamental political commitments came up with “family values.” We vote “family values.” We support “family values” candidates. Even the left has noticed, countering our language with this bit of bumper-sticker wisdom: … Continue reading
Knot Kneading & Not Needing to Know: Me & the Sanford Mess
One cannot step outside the system. And we are the system. As I argued last week with respect to the war in Iran, truth can be hard to come by, outside of God’s Word and His world. Because every man … Continue reading

The First Casualty: All That We Don’t Know About Iran
What I remember most about the first days of the COVID crisis was the sense that I had no idea whom to believe. I was skeptical of claims made the government because, well, they were claims made by the government. … Continue reading

Surviving Incredulity World: Why What We Don’t Know Hurts Us
Lies are a double-edged sword. Not only are they designed to get us to believe things that are not true, but they encourage us to not believe things that are true. Every lie borrows its credibility from some other truth. … Continue reading

Gently Restore: The Lost Art of Biblical Correction
The devil, I suspect, delights to play both sides against the middle. He encourages God’s people to careen into the ditch on one side of the road. Then he encourages corrective measures that lead to others of God’s people careening … Continue reading

What are some key idols in the evangelical church?
What sin did God’s people in the Old Testament most struggle with? You be surprised. We tend to focus on various sins of the flesh in our concerns about ourselves. And to be sure, our fathers in the faith fought … Continue reading

Embracing Righteous Anger, While Maintaining Peace
“Judge not” is surely that text in all of Scripture that is most misunderstood outside the kingdom. Among believers we misunderstand Paul’s admonition to the Ephesians, “Be angry but do not sin” (Ephesians 4:26). We soundly conclude from this text … Continue reading

Defending Loose Cannons, and Trump’s Loose Tongue
The charge of hypocrisy sticks. Perhaps because we are all worse than our own standard. We rebuke the other guy, only to find that we too are guilty. The only good news I can offer is that it works both … Continue reading
