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

Should we take up an offering during worship?
It was likely the most surreal thing I’ve ever witnessed at a worship service. Not surprisingly it happened on a Sunday morning at the Orlando Convention Center. My esteemed father was scheduled to preach at this service in conjunction with … 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

Hearts, Heads and Hands, Knees and Toes, Knees and Toes
Much ink has been spilled over the centuries over what constituent parts make up man. Not a man, but man. It took us until the 21st century to get confused over what a man is. What man is, on the … Continue reading

Dominion- Reigning for the Glory of Our King
I’m not in the habit of citing Karl Barth favorably, but when you’re right you’re right. Counter-intuitively, but insightfully Barth considers the sin of sloth to be on par with the sin of pride. We are prone to it, and … 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 is counter-intuitive, but nevertheless, there it is. We all, from time to time, take offense when grace is offered to us. We all, even more of the time, take offense when grace is offered to others. Two different circumstances, … Continue reading

What does it mean that the church is the bride of Christ?
