  • Confused Excuses - "Confused Excuses" is the title Christopher Wright gives to Jeremiah 2:20-37.  I found it in the "Bible Speaks Today."  Some self disclosure - I have made a commitment to understand the prophet Jeremiah, so that I might share some of what God has to say through the prophets for our day.  It is hard work. … Continue Reading
  • The “Y” Matters - Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA, had a thought provoking article in The Daily Signal, about young men in America,  observing, "America is waking up to the reality that the 'Y' matters."  Referring to men he points to the Y chromosome, "The 'Y' doesn't just mark their biology - it point them to their… Continue Reading
  • Liminal Leaders - This was the title of an article by Dr. John Seel.  He believes we are living through a "civilizational inflection."  The West is gravely ill.  The disease is spiritual. The need is repentance not policy. "The patient," suggests Dr. Seel, "still breathes, but the pulse of purpose is gone.  We are a zombie culture, animated… Continue Reading
  • Boy Trouble - Variety magazine reported recently that Disney has "boy trouble." Bill Winters believes, "They're going to have to ditch an ideology that sneered at masculinity."  Disney is losing the interest of Gen Z men (13-28), whom they describe as  a "lonely, gaming-obsessed group who were hampered in their formative years by COVID-19 lockdowns."   Winters points out… Continue Reading
  • Once more, Church and Culture - Brad East, a professor of theology at Abilene Christian University, has become one of my favorite theologians.  I value theologians, who I can trust to be scripture centered, but yet speak clearly, in a fresh, new way the "old story" of Jesus and his love.  Recently he wrote an article for Mere Orthodoxy entitled, "Once… Continue Reading
  • The 6th of January - I recently heard Amy Grant's new single entitled, "The 6th of January (Yasgur's Farm)"  I felt some nostalgia, as the song took me back to the 60's when I was just a new convert.  The song didn't have a preachy tone, rather it was almost contemplative, causing older listeners to reflect on their story and… Continue Reading
  • House Full Of Deceit - Jeremiah was called by God to  warn the people of Judah.   One of the words he uses to describe their lifestyle is the word "deceit."  Deceit in today's culture is described as "the practice of deceiving; concealment or distortion of the truth for the purpose of misleading; duplicity; fraud; cheating." In 5:27 the prophet accuses… Continue Reading
  • Full Grown Man - Christian artist, Josh Baldwin, has recorded a  song entitled, "Full grown man."  The title and the song itself,  stuck me as a song that would relate to men.  I like Baldwin, not only for the content of his songs, but the manner in which he performs.  I have a sense that his masculine manner connects… Continue Reading
  • My Father’s Dance - I read Ronald Rolheiser's blog often.  He expresses views outside my comfort zone, yet he has a way of writing that speaks to my soul, especially when it comes to relationships.  A recent blog was entitled "A father's Blessing."  He lost his father when he was 23 year old.  But he has admiration for his… Continue Reading
  • The Great Feminization - Helen Andrews had a very insightful article in Compact entitled, "The Great Feminization." She theorizes, "Cancel culture is simply what women do whenever there are enough of them in a given organization or field." She is applying feminine patterns of behavior in institutions where women were few in number until recently.  Andrews observes, "Everything you… Continue Reading
