Even after a filling dinner, the pies did not persevere long. And the children quickly feel asleep as the van was loaded for our trek to Canada.
Music Review: Lover
This album is a lifer. We are not worthy.
Music Review: Lover
While I wanted to hate this album wholesale, I simply can’t. It’s not great, and often sounds like a collection of slightly undercooked ideas, but more songs will survive on Lover than on Reputation. It’s also the 2nd best album titled Lover that came last month.
Interview with Rachel Miller
I want us, as conservative Christians, to go back to the Bible and study for ourselves what it teaches about women and men in marriage, church, and society. I want us to be willing to reform our teaching so that we are faithful to Scripture.
Book Review: Beyond Authority and Submission
There are a lot of debates and discussions happening within confessionally Reformed and Presbyterian churches centered on gender and sexuality. In some cases, the confessions to which these churches hold are being questioned, re-defined, or even ignored. Beyond Authority and Submission does not entertain or create such a controversy.
Are Women Space Aliens? And Other Important Questions
The paradox of human sexuality is that the very thing that distinguishes male from female also establishes our fundamentally common human nature. Adam was not born on “Planet Authority” and Eve on “Planet Submission.” In fact, Eve came from a source that could not possibly be any closer—she came from Man himself.
On Football Season
Another old refrain is that there’s too much hate in the world today. Hate rooted in religion, politics, and music preferences. But there is one kind of hate that everyone can gather around and enjoy sharing.

The standard of God’s law provides a grim diagnosis: no one is good. No one is perfect. No one will inherit eternal life.
memento that mori
I cry thinking about the people I've lost whose gravestones I can't visit, for whatever reason. I cry thinking about the people who are dead while they still live. I cry reading tributes to parents, spouses, wondering if I will leave anyone behind. Ultimately, it doesn't matter, does it?
Rest Well, Christian
Rest well, Christian, knowing that Jesus loves you and always will.
Book Review: Not Forsaken
It should be seen as a gateway, helping the reader to begin asking the right questions as we seek to love our neighbor who has been harmed. Used in that way, it is an important read, and would be an excellent addition to any church library.
Is Wisdom What's Missing From Your Obedience?
f you find your obedience to God weak, half-hearted, bitter or hypocritical, don't be afraid to ask "why." We have a Father who loves to answer.
Until I See You
If you wish to better understand the struggles of homelessness, be sure to check out I See You and begin to invest in meaningful community.
Music Review: I Love You. It’s a Fever Dream.
Tallest Man on Earth is still standing high above his contemporaries with his new attempt on tap.
Can We Identify Our Lack?
For that is precisely what it means to reject a theology of perfectionism. It means to announce a remaining lack that can only, for now, be fulfilled by the church community.
Fanning All Strifes
Do not be deceived that God is somehow honored when believers mock each other every day online.
Be Still
Be still. Rest. Not in the poetic sense of refreshing or finding your second wind. Not in a sentimental “mood picture” sort of way. Look forward to the promised rest. Look back at Christ’s finished work.

I'm kind of reminding myself here, but also urging you: taste some things you wouldn't normally.
