The Wandering Heretic

II have a brother-in-law who is probably almost perfect.  Just ask his sister, my wife.  According to her, he is living in the perfect state, weather-wise (Colorado).  Every time it gets dreary in Ohio (which is about 9 months of the year) she never fails to point out that fact to me.  I also pale [...]

In my last post discussed the theology of "the progressive Lordship of Christ."  Instead of a theology where Christ becomes Lord over more and more of your life (and therefore the world) I preferred a doctrine of the present and fixed Lordship of Christ.  In that post I noted that Jesus is fully Lord now, [...]

I had a rather interesting discussion with my wife a few months ago.  The topic had to do with my opinion of my father's eulogy.  I noted that I thought it was okay, but then started to lament the direct and almost exclusive association the modern church has made between the Gospel and personal salvation.  [...]

It is almost axiomatic among those with whom I associate that the secular press is left of center, liberal, and decidedly anti-Christian.  For Rush Limbaugh fans, often the press and the television news are described as parts of the "drive-by media."  I am not certain exactly what Limbaugh means by this designation, since I have [...]

For most modern North Americans and Europeans, the face that is shown at the left best represents Christ as he walked the Land of Israel 2,000 years ago.  We see similar representations in our movies, picture Bibles, classical paintings, and (if we are in the Eastern Church) painted on the ceilings of our churches.  Yet [...]

  I am less happy with this series of panels than almost any other I have put together. Somehow, by trying to give sympathy to some points on the “feminist” agenda, I still relied on the old stereotypes for humor. Also, when I put this together some 20 years ago, I think I was more [...]
