The Perseverance of the Saints, A Love Story
“And to forsake all others, till death do us part.” One would think, that with the decades-old trend in the broader culture of “personal marriage vows,” wherein husband and wife fill in the blanks and speak their own words, that … Continue reading

Not Worthy to Be Compared- Here to Eternity
We all know we are called to walk by faith and not by sight (II Cor. 5:7). What we often don’t know is how terrible we are at it. We tend to think of it as the ability to believe … Continue reading

Believers’ Loving Response to Sexual Confusion
I suspect one of the reasons that the opposition to sodomy that was once the default position of all professing Christians is in such retreat says more than we suspect. We’re now being encouraged to be silent on the issue, … Continue reading

Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound, Given To All Around
Perhaps the most subtle verbal sleights of hand are acts of equivocation. We commit equivocation when we use one word, but with two different meanings. We make the change so quickly we miss the palmed meaning, and are made fools. … Continue reading

What’s missing from the contemporary church?
Sinlessness. That is, the weaknesses that plague the contemporary church aren’t, in the end, all that different from the weaknesses that plagued the historical church. The more things change and all that, after all. It is said that one Lord’s … Continue reading

Theological Socialism and God’s Good Grace
Karl Marx himself recognized that a free economy created a great deal of stuff. Productivity wasn’t the problem, according to Marx, in the capitalist economy. Instead, the problem was the distribution of the wealth that was created. Which is what … Continue reading
Better to Have Loved and Lost- Burying Duke
We buried Duke. We had not known him long. We didn’t have a great deal in common. His illness came on suddenly. Lisa and I had visited him, sought to comfort him, and prayed for him. When the sun rose … Continue reading

Resenting Grace: Parable of the Miserly Son

It may be the most overlooked moment of deep horror in all of the Bible. Not the eating of the fruit itself. Plenty of horror there, but it’s not overlooked. Rather it was the response of our first parents to … Continue reading
