“How about you? Ever wonder if you’re the only one who doesn’t quite fit into one of the sanctioned queer worlds? …Well I’ve got news for you…you’re simply postmodern.

And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit… And Jesus commanded him, “Tell me your name!” (Mark 5: 2, 9) There are few things I enjoy more than God’s wisdom, love and sovereign grace shining into darkness…and then watching as…

“It is instructive to know that under the influence of seduction the child may become polymorphous-perverse and may be misled into all sorts of transgressions.

“God, who needs nothing, loves into existence wholly superfluous creatures in order that He may love and perfect them.

I happened to catch a four-minute clip on today’s (4/17/14) episode of All Things Considered. It was one of those off-the-beaten-path stories that helps me appreciate NPR, regardless of its progressive leanings. (Actually – all things considered – I think the government-subsidized radio network has been doing a fairly good job of moving towards the…
