Is the Church the Justice League?

This week’s MoS Bully Pulpit has Carl, Todd, and me thinking about justice. How can or how should the church best promote the sanctity of life? Well, Todd and I may seem to have a different nuance to the relationship between the church and politics. But I will just paste the Martin Luther quote that […]

Sizing Up A Book

About two years ago, I wrote an article about my first experience with a Kindle. I had a little fun with the description and I used the metaphor that the Kindle is a bad kisser. What I want to talk about today reminded me of just how well that metaphor can work. Many people are […]

The “A” Word

Mark Jones went and did it. He dropped the “A” word, turned it inside out, and left the contemporary Reformed world a little exposed. Antinomianism. Go ahead and say it, it’s kind of a fun word. But no one wants to be called an antinomian. When you first hear the word you may immediately think, […]

Three on Thursday!

This is my third post today, and I typically only post three times a week. What can I say, walking on the wild side! I have to links to share with you. First, here is an update on the debate with Dr. James White that is airing tonight, For Whom Did Christ Die? If you would […]

The New Cosmos Inaugurated

I’ve been spending some time lately in the beginning of Colossians, where Paul is sharing what he has been praying for this church. I decided to write it out as a personal prayer to God for my family, church, and for some groups of women that I will be speaking to in the upcoming season […]

Up For Debate?

An interesting debate has been brought to my attention from the folks over at Alpha and Omega Ministries: On January 24, 2014 Dr James White (Alpha & Omega Ministries) will debate Dr Michael Brown (Line of Fire radio) live at 9 PM, US EST on the topic For Whom Did Christ Die ? On the following […]

Fashionable Preaching

I know that I have a good number of wonderful pastors that actually stop by to read from a housewife theologian. The latest Mortification of Spin Podcast will be edifying to you, as well as to those of you who occupy the pews. Carl, Todd, and I actually took a little field trip before recording. […]

What Good Whiskey and Good Theologians Have in Common

I’m sure some of you more distinguished theologians drink better whiskey than I do. But I’m a housewife theologian in West Virginia. So we have a proclivity to one of the three wise men, Jack Daniels. There’s a four point process to Jack’s wisdom that I realized also makes for a good theologian. (As you […]

The Man Who Walked by Faith

There’s a great section in Mark Jones’s book, Antinomianism, that is subtitled Christ’s Life of Faith. He begins talking about the two natures of Christ, his divine nature and his human nature. I appreciated this section because it’s easy to overlook what was going on in Christ’s humanity between the incarnation and his resurrection. Here […]

MoS on Finding a Church

This is Bully Pulpit week over at the Mortification of Spin. So Carl, Todd, and I decided to a brief pitch on what to look for in a church. If you are ever in the position of needing to find a church home, you know it can be frustrating. What are some important elements to look […]
