Identifying I.D.
The culture wars are heating up again. Such, I suppose, ought not to surprise me. Evangelical professor of sociology James Davidson Hunter published his book Culture Wars in 1992. Therein he argued that the real dividing line in modern culture … Continue reading
Nothing New Under the Sun
It’s Groundhog Day again. For some today elicits memories of waiting to hear the long-term forecast delivered by a rodent in central Pennsylvania. For others it brings back memories of the Sisyphus-ian hardship of Bill Murray, reliving the day over … Continue reading

Plowing in Hope
The kingdom of God is at war. The promise from the beginning was that the seed of the woman, our King, would come and crush the head of the serpent (Gen. 3:15). Jesus’ first step out of the tomb at … Continue reading

The Scandal of the Gospel
All of us, both within and without the church, face the temptation of being legalists when dealing with others’ sins against us, and antinomians when dealing with our sins against others. We want those we have perceived to have wronged … Continue reading

What is wrong with anonymous social media accounts?
To grasp what is wrong with them we first must ask what the benefit is. That is, why would a person want to have an anonymous account? I can think of two reasons, though of course there may be more. … Continue reading
