Reflections on the Kennedy Funeral

— Saturday, August 29th, 2009 —

There’s much to be admired about the funeral of the late U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy today. An amazing crowd gathered to honor the man’s epic life, a crowd that included four presidents, hundreds of Members of Congress, and dignitaries of business, labor, journalism, and religion.

Even so, the funeral homily and the litany offered [...]

Reflections on Katrina, Four Years Later

— Saturday, August 29th, 2009 —

Four years ago today was one of the worst days of my life, and I was safely a thousand miles away. Hurricane Katrina drove my hometown of Biloxi, Mississippi, virtually off the map. The houses of family and friends: gone. Church buildings I’d heard the gospel in, and preached the gospel in: gone. Most of [...]

Gambling, the Gospel, and Social Justice

— Thursday, August 27th, 2009 —

Every time I return to my hometown, I grumble as I drive down the beachfront. I grew up there on the Gulf of Mexico, and spent my life on those waters, under those stars. Now, however, the place is aglow with neon, as casinos dot the landscape, as far as the eye can see.

I [...]

Creation or Gospel First?

— Wednesday, August 19th, 2009 —

I’m getting ready for tomorrow’s second class meeting in Theology II here at Southern Seminary, and here’s what I’d like my students to be thinking about the night before.

You meet a completely secular (inasmuch as that’s possible, of course) man in your community. He grew up with atheist parents, and has never really known [...]

The End of Secularism

— Wednesday, August 19th, 2009 —

Hunter Baker is one of the sharpest thinkers in contemporary American Christianity. His new book, The End of Secularism, will provoke the same kind of conversation ignited by Richard John Neuhaus’s The Naked Public Square several years ago. You’ll want to get this volume. Read this book slowly, with a highlighter and a [...]
