Does the Cross Glorify Passive Acquiescence to Violence?

|
“When asked for the secret of a happy marriage, the answer is the same as the secret to a blessed and happy life. ‘Take up your cross, and follow Jesus.’ I would add that the responsibility to put to death our old nature belongs to every Christian, as MacLeod so admirably teaches. But it is […]

Complementarianism’s Existentialism Feeds Gender Confusion

|
“We are all existentialists now. As a society, owing to luxuries like free time and access to lots of food (luxuries denied the vast majority of humanity throughout history), we are freed up to engage in navel-gazingly wondering what makes us a man or a woman. For some reason, conservative white Christians in this country […]

The Secret Things of God

|
“The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Deu 29:29 KJV) Making decisions is a daunting process. There is much that goes into a decision, especially one that will […]

Christ, the Church, and Marriage

|
“I have a beautiful muscat grape vine. Last week I pruned it. Then I felt bad, since Jesus is the vine and we are the branches. Maybe in my pruning the vine I misrepresented the permanence of the Covenant of grace. Jesus will never cut us off, will he? Last night, before I went to […]

On Unconditional Covenants

|
“‘Marriage is not a contract; it’s a covenant.’ Maybe you’ve heard that. It’s catchy. Someone says it at a big conference, everyone nods. They go back to their churches and repeat it. Everyone nods. And so it goes viral. But does it actually mean anything? I’ve heard it explained that covenants are unconditional, but contracts […]

Sex and Sandwiches

|
“This horrible meme has been floating around – about how a husband needs sex, sandwiches and submission. I don’t want to link it because I don’t want to give the godless people who support it any more support, even by a click. But it got me thinking about this false idea promoted by patriarchialists of […]

Divorce and Tempting God

|
“Today I am preparing for a Bible Study on the sixth commandment. I am looking at our Heidelberg Catechism, question 105: 105. What does God require in the sixth commandment? That I do not revile, hate, insult or kill my neighbor either in thought, word, or gesture, much less in deed, whether by myself or […]

Instead of “Purity Culture”

|
“For decades now, Youth Group generally involves some 2o something dude, who may or may not be a little bit creepy, telling kids about staying “pure” until marriage, avoiding the world’s music and movies, what swimsuits girls should wear, and that boys should “bounce” their eyes so as not to ensnared by the inevitable lust. […]

How Shame Drives Us From Christ

|
“For some reason, Evangelical America has decided that shame is an effective way to battle sin. My whole life, I have heard that “Israel forgot how to blush” (Jer. 6:15) which led to their destruction. Therefore (so it is taught) when we catch someone in some kind of sin, the best thing we can do […]

The Pence Rule and Wisdom

|
“This topic keeps coming up. Again, I want to stress this. I do not at all care, nor have any issue whatsoever with what Mr. Pence does. As a high powered politician, he might have many reasons not to eat with a woman alone. My greatest concern is with false teaching. As Christians, we all […]
