New policy. If you post/comment under an anonymous profile, I will not respond, and I'll also block you (unless I know your identity or have very good reason to believe you are legit). I welcome genuine engagement, but only with real people—enough with the insidious and…
I’m very sympathetic to the genuine longing that fuels the concept of “chosen family”. But when it is deployed by Christians within and for a Christian context, I believe it is problematic. It runs directly counter to the biblical claim that all of Christ’s disciples have been…
I was listening to a podcast interview with an American theologian whose doctoral work was in the Thessalonians correspondence. She said that when she raised the topic of the Rapture with UK students she received largely blank or disinterested looks. (For the record she would…
Apparently it’s going to be a day of blocking nasty anon accounts again.
Guess which biblical figure is described as being the constant accuser of the church? Guess how much that biblical figure delights in co-opting God's own people into his schemes?
Pastors are called to pastor the flock entrusted to their care… not to be public theologians with an obligation to speak to media outlets in search of a controversial story. If some indeed choose to do the latter, it may be because they have determined it is in the best…

When you find yourself disagreeing with pretty much every other commentator on the significance of a verse, you know that you are having either a very good or a very bad day.
This is the kind of dogmatic interaction that I hope my in-depth (but very readable) exploration of 1 Cor 7:29-35 in 'Single Ever After' might challenge. It's not enough for us to merely assert that "pleasing" one's husband or wife in those verses is a self-evidentially good…
You are wrong, dear sister. It is a good thing to please your spouse. Perhaps you can speak to your pastor about it.
