Who’s Afraid of a Woman President?

— Wednesday, August 31st, 2011 —

In 2008, Christians were faced with the real prospect of a woman president (Hillary Clinton) or vice president (Sarah Palin). Some (though very few) complementarian Christians wondered whether this could be right, while critics of traditionalist interpretations wondered how consistent it was for Christians to [...]

Dungeons and Dragons and Doctrinal Debate

— Monday, August 29th, 2011 —

Remember those Dungeons and Dragons people back in junior high school? Well, they grew up, got saved, and are now debating Calvinism, on both sides. This realization hit me this past week when I received yet another Facebook “invitation” to a forum debating Calvinism.

Now, don’t get me wrong, there are some big and important [...]

— Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011 —

A man walked out of my church in protest. I didn’t notice it as it was happening, but he told me about it, in a note, a few weeks later. He was angered that he had been excluded. At first, I feared that maybe he [...]

“Long Time Gone,” by the Dixie Chicks

— Friday, August 12th, 2011 —

Several years ago controversy surrounded the Dixie Chicks for their statements about America’s foreign policy. Things were so bad that when I then bought the group’s latest album in my hometown of Biloxi, Mississippi, I hid it under a Times-Picayune newspaper in the checkout line, so that I wouldn’t face the disapproving looks of [...]

“Underneath the Door,” by Michael Card

— Friday, August 5th, 2011 —

Summer break is over, and “The Cross and the Jukebox” is back. We’re back with something a little different in store. Typically, every week we look at something from what could be broadly defined as “roots music” of various sorts, but those of you who know me know that I refuse to be [...]

Why You Should Read Hannah Coulter

— Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011 —

This week Christian Audio announced that Wendell Berry’s novel Hannah Coulter will be its free download for August. I think that’s a great move, and I’d encourage you to listen or, better yet, to read this book. Those of you who are regulars [...]
