The Church Today
Will there be gentlemen?
I wonder this. I ponder this question: Will there be gentlemen? Will there be gentlemen who guard their behaviour, guard their conversations and the words they choose to use in mixed company or not, men who will refrain from crude or vulgar speech or innuendo? Not much time for blogging as we’ve been covered up […]...

More on Mars Hill
I thought it appropriate to clarify something in regard to my previous entry: Birthcontrol at Mars Hill. First, I’d be remiss if I didn’t quickly say that I think Mark Driscoll is a good teacher and sound in doctrine. I think he handles societal issues well — though differently than I might. But so what. […]...

Watch.
How will these things be, Lord? How will the end times be? I have often wondered. How will the church be deceived and what will come of the church in the last days? So then, I read with… interest(?) no, sadness: this article on A Common Word Between Us and You and I was grieved […]...

Let us be not silly women
