Hamas’ Evil Atrocity Against Israel: A Time to Speak

Last updated on: October 10, 2023 at 6:50 pm By Layne Wallace

A Time to Speak There are times when the best thing to say is nothing. When one is angered or outraged, silence is wisdom. After all, after expression words cannot be rescinded. They have a power of their own. One must be careful, especially when indignant. So, waiting for the whole story to emerge, waiting for fury to pass a good course of action. Stillness and silence have an expiration, though, and they have expired. Now, truths must be spoken.... Read more

Lang, Thomason, Burn Out, and The Church: Some Pastors Do Not Like The Church

Last updated on: October 3, 2023 at 6:40 pm By Layne Wallace

Don’t Call It Burn Out Don’t call it burn-out Andrew Lang’s recent article detailing his reasons for leaving the pastorate generated many responses, including mine. One published response caught my attention. Ordinarily, a response to an article like his does not merit a separate response because one gets to the point of diminishing returns. Todd Thomason’s article, Don’t Call It Burn-Out in Baptist News Global, however, is an exception. It demands a response. In it, Thomason takes exception to... Read more

Beth Moore, Twitter, and the Jesus Criterion

Beth Moore A recent Tweet by Beth Moore is a curiosity and it points to a misuse of a method of Biblical interpretation, the Jesus Criterion among, Baptists and other evangelical Christians. In 1994 Beth Moore founded Living Proof Ministries to teach women the Scriptures.[1] Since then Moore has become a beloved author and teacher, selling 17.5 million copies of her Bible studies. Once the darling of the SBC, Moore has left the denomination to be part of an Anglican... Read more

“Lord, who are you and who am I?” St. Francis of Assisi She is a student at a community college, perhaps she is 17 or 18. Wearing typical college attire, sweats and a t-shirt, she appears finished even though trying to dress down. Her hair, parted in the middle, is fiery red, but there seems to be little fire in her soul. She engages in class, but she seems rather detached otherwise. Her crystal blue eyes look heavy when not... Read more

Resurrection in John

Last updated on: September 18, 2023 at 9:15 pm By Layne Wallace

While It Was Still Dark In simple words, John gives us an important observation about the morning of the resurrection. “…It was still dark…” As always with John the words operate on two levels. Yes, it was before dawn so it was dark. John, however, was not referring to the limited number of lumens peering over the horizon. The time of day is only a servant to his greater point. The world was dark not because the sun had yet... Read more

Why Do Some Ethicists Not Behave Ethically?

Ethics and Human Behavior As someone who studies ethics, I have observed the behavior of some students and professors in the field with some confusion. If ethics is the study of the right way to live, the right thing to do, then why do some in the field do the wrong thing? More specifically, why do some behave in ways that contradict the field they are studying or teaching? Why do some ethics teachers breach ethics? Ethics Professors and... Read more

Why I Am Not a Calvinist

John Calvin There are few Protestants more influential than the French theologian John Calvin. His Institutes of the Christian Religion have shaped Protestant theology for 500 years. Calvin is a brilliant thinker, and his interpretation of Scripture is usually insightful. He is formidable and worth reading. What Is Calvinism Modern Calvinists often use the acronym TULIP to describe the Calvinist system: T=total depravity. Sin ruins every area of existence, including human will and intellect. No person can turn to God... Read more

The Bible There is a new addition to my office, a brown leather copy of Holy Scripture. I ordered it when I was at a denominational meeting this summer. Not often do I find my favorite translation in a comfortable size, so when I found this one I was excited. The two gold ribbons for page markers are tucked in Genesis and Isaiah, where my reading is right now. I do not need a ribbon for the Psalms, as I... Read more

What I have most wanted to do is make religious writing an art New Atheism Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and other writers are part of an intellectual movement known as “New Atheism.” While there have always been atheists, New Atheism is a militant version of the ideology. In the past, atheists have been content with mere disbelief. New Atheism, however, argues it is important to protest against religion, ridicule it, and convert people from religion. It has a zeal,...
