Embodied Faith

Posted on January 11, 2024 by RC

A culture that denies that truth exists and can be known is already dead whether its obituary has been written or not. Cultures are built on truths, even if those truths are false. It is bad enough to be wrong, … Continue reading →

Ex-vangelical Pharisees, or, Judging We Are Judged

Posted on December 26, 2023 by RC

There is, purportedly, a movement out there, a movement out of the church. A bevy of young, feckless and deformed men and women have weighed the evangelical church in the balance and found us wanting. They self-identify as ex-vangelicals. And … Continue reading →

What’s our biggest weakness in understanding the Bible?

Posted on November 6, 2023 by RC

Logic, or a lack thereof. There are plenty of other weaknesses we have. We not only don’t come to the Bible as first century Jews but we do come as twenty-first century Americans. We are largely ignorant of the geography, … Continue reading →

Buckle Up

Posted on November 2, 2023 by RC

Blood in the Streets

Posted on October 20, 2023 by RC

How prone we are to miss the drama. The tyranny of the urgent, the plainness of our patterns, and our propensity to look inward rather than outward all push us to regard our callings, our surroundings, and our souls as … Continue reading →

The Unbearable Oughtness of Being Or, Postmodern Pharisees

Posted on October 10, 2023 by RC

The appeal of ethical relativism is rather plain to see. If there is no right and wrong then I can’t be convicted of any wrong. Ethical relativism allows me to write my own law, to edit on the fly, to … Continue reading →

Kids These Days

Posted on October 6, 2023 by RC

It’s a funny thing about slippery slopes—you can slide down them slowly. The principle behind the concept isn’t that you must move swiftly from here down to there if you have no moral brakes, but that you will move. A … Continue reading →

Posted on October 5, 2023 by RC

I’m in favor. In fact, I’m so in favor I’d like to nominate another category to fill in the +. But first let’s look at the blessings of LGBTQ. L is for love. Who could be opposed to love? Of … Continue reading →

Should we be expecting plandemic, phase II?

Posted on August 28, 2023 by RC

While I haven’t the least trouble imagining that those in power are wicked enough to conspire against those over whom they rule, I do struggle to imagine they are smart enough to pull off many true conspiracies. Last night I … Continue reading →

Crying Wolf

Posted on August 24, 2023 by RC

It’s a simple enough exercise, good for getting to bedrock principles. I ask my ethics students if it is ever right to tell a lie. Roughly 90% of them answer in the affirmative, with almost all of them embracing the … Continue reading →
