The Man-Child and the Man-Eater

A proper understanding of sexuality is important. Since last week, I critiqued the way that women are embracing 50 Shades of Grey, I thought it would be good to repost some articles I wrote three summers ago. Here is the third. In my last two articles I have been discussing a proper understanding of our […]

A Lunting We Will Go…

Now here is a British word that my Mortification of Spin cohost may need to put into practice. Because clearly, Carl’s method of sitting around on the beach got him into some trouble. Of course, Carl did pick up his habit from Todd, and Todd isn’t a big fan of walking. Of what am I referring? […]

Walking Stories

A proper understanding of sexuality is important. Since last week, I critiqued the way that women are embracing 50 Shades of Grey, I thought it would be good to repost some articles I wrote three summers ago when the movie Friends with Benefits was released. Some of the material comes from Chapter 4 of my book, […]

Our Sexuality is Meant to be Shared

A proper understanding of sexuality is important. Since my last post critiqued the way that women are embracing 50 Shades of Grey, I thought it would be good to repost some articles I wrote three summers ago when the movie Friends with Benefits was released.

50 Shades of Strange

Well, I would say the first shade of strange hit me at a neighborhood Christmas party almost two years ago. Matt and I look forward to this annual event. There are some couples there that we hardly get to see throughout the year, and it is always fun catching up. One neighbor I haven’t seen […]

Dirt Baked Hard

Today on MoS, we discuss suffering and weakness. To give me a taste of affliction, my cohosts downgrade me from my previous title, “The Pat Benatar of Reformed Theology,” to “Cruella de Vil.” Hurtful. But the good news is this means they must be afraid of me.   There are a few other small matters […]

Reality in the Christian Life

I’ve been looking forward to taking Bill Edgar’s Schaeffer on the Christian Life to the beach with me this summer. One thing that I have been enjoying about Crossway’s On the Christian Life series is that you get to know two people: the biographer and the one whom the book is about. That is especially […]

Your Naked Truth

I read an article the other day that is still bothering me. I think that it captures a lie that many men and women believe about beauty and love. A 59-year-old wrote it, but this is the same problem I see in 18-year-olds. The article starts out with a brave, naked, woman really looking at […]

The Last Bastion of Freedom

Being an honorary guy has its perks. I was able to be smuggled into a frat house with Carl and Todd to discuss a development and trend in college campus ministries. For this week’s Bully Pulpit we react to a First Things article written by Robert Gregory, Bowdoin Told Us To Go, where he explains […]

Women of the Word

Books at a Glance has posted my review of Jen Wilkin’s new book, Women of the Word. Here’s a short teaser: “The Bible does not want to be neatly packaged into three-hundred-and-sixty-five-day-increments” (75). No, no it doesn’t. But too often we think this is the only way to spending personal time in God’s Word. While […]
