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

Lawless Law, or No Dog in This Fight
The purported value of ethical relativism, the idea that there are no transcendent, binding rules for right and wrong that all humans are morally required to submit to, is that it allows us to live in peace. That is, if … Continue reading

Compromising Positions
It is surely possible for different people to share the same goals, but to employ different strategies. What I am increasingly seeing, however, is how easy it is for strategies and goals to meld together. We all want, I trust, … Continue reading
