Just Sit and Listen
But what about giving my ear to music for no other reason than to appreciate it as music? Had I forgotten how to sit and listen and enjoy the thing for its own sake?
How Not To Argue for a Vote
But far too often, I encounter the usage of this Scripture for a soap box platform. The church deserves better.
The Tragedy of Transparency
Check if "transparent" people respond well to public criticism or rebuke after posting something public.

On Neighbors, Love, & the Magistrate
We do not want to be "those who turn aside the alien" and do not fear God.
On Priorities
With regard to James 2, I think it's applicability here is a stretch. The order of charity described by Paul and Aquinas has nothing to do with the sin of partiality.
On Fear
Let me take a little time to explain why I believe the USA needs to continue its acceptance of Syrian refugees.
The Enemy Pursues Him Even There
Could we be more pathetic? For gosh sakes, we're begging the world for street cred.
A Gender Stereotyping Discussion
The Scriptures tell us to do this. What a novel thought.
Public Confession
Christ's death on the cross is not for them in a special way. But for them right now, His nakedness is represented by their honesty.
Solomon Against Modernity
We must submit to the place that God put us in His creation. Modernity refuses to do this. The Modern man must be either God or meaningless manner. The Modern man ignores the wisdom of Solomon.
