What should we be doing to better protect unborn babies?
For fifty years Christians have, with waxing and waning fervor, fought to see unborn children protected from parents and doctors that would take their lives. During that time we have seen sixty million babies’ lives snuffed out, on purpose, within … Continue reading

The Axis of Evil
It is my habit to challenge my brothers and sisters who spend time and energy denouncing this form of abortion, that reason for abortion, or the other context for abortion. The problem with late term or partial birth abortions isn’t … Continue reading

Can sin be my identity?
No, and yes. One of the strange results of efforts made to shoehorn homosexuality into the church is the claim of many at best celibate and at worst actively practicing, that they are “gay Christians.” The latter try to claim … Continue reading

Public People, Private Lives
There has been of late a rather embarrassing battle going on on social media between competing tribes of Bible believing Calvinists who come down on different sides of what God commands for civil governments. There are good men on both … Continue reading

Keep Your Pants On
We’re fools, we meaning we humans. We see the destruction that flows from our foolish choices, and seek out any solution besides stopping with the foolish choices. The Bible says that sexual behavior is only for a married husband and … Continue reading

The Prodigal Father
When I served as editor-in-chief of Tabletalk magazine, I committed my share of gaffes. I received more than my share of sweet-natured but school-marmish notes about why this semicolon should have been a colon, or why further was the better … Continue reading

Have You Heard?
Gossip, for all its destructive power, and the bounty of warning against it in the Bible, still carries with it an image as a cute or entertaining sin. We laugh at the town matriarch who is more effective at spreading … Continue reading

Crying Wolf
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

#JesusToo
We are all rather quick to lay claim to the title “victim.” The truth is we are all victims. Every mother’s son of us has, at one time or another, been the victim of someone else’s sins against us. It … Continue reading
