A Correspondence with David Ruis
So if you haven’t been following my conversation with David Ruis (author of songs such as, “Let Your Glory Fall” and “You Are Worthy of My Praise), you can follow it here. Well, David was gracious enough to respond back and gave me permission to reprint the email. So here is his response to my [...]

Dads and Their Daughter’s Dress
Most men don’t really think it’s their responsibility to teach their daughter’s how to dress modestly. We tend to think that belongs to our wives. But such thinking is another abdication of spiritual leadership. In this excerpt, John Piper tackles this subject. Something he says in this video makes me ponder: “Does a little girl’s [...]
Words of Wisdom
I have been reading from Proverbs of late, and it has been a treasure. It’s slow reading, however. You have to take every epithet and ruminate on each or you miss much. Well, I was reading John Piper’s blog and he found a list of proverbs from his father. They are worth the read and [...]
Worship Superstars
In 1999, I remember picking up a CD by an unknown movement called, “Passion: The 268 Generation.” And given that I had grown up listening to Twila Paris, Sandi Patti, Keith Green, Hosanna Integrity, Vineyard Music, and Maranatha Praise, I found Passion uniquely different. As different as the sound was, what was clearly different was [...]
The Disruptive Child and Childcare
As more and more families live on a double income, more and more children end up in child care. A friend of mine sent me this CNN article that reports: “The more time that children spent in child care, the more likely their sixth-grade teachers were to report problem behavior.” It’s a subject that most [...]
T4G and the African-American
I just finished two books on the American Civil War, Team of Rivals and Manhunt, a book on Lincoln’s assassination and the manhunt that ensued for John Wilkes Booth. I also completed Eric Metaxes’ book, Amazing Grace on the life of William Wilberforce. There is so much to glean from these books that I don’t [...]
Bound Feet, Bound Bodies
David Park has an interesting blog article on Chinese women who have their feet bound for the sake of beauty. David notes: This practice of binding the feet of women was around for almost 1,000 years in China. And to my utter fright, the reasons for such a practice were aesthetic?! Years of suffering were [...]
An Aberration, An Apology, an Affirmation
First, the Aberration: On Tim Challies blog on which he commented on John Eldredge’s book, The Way of the Wild Heart, Tim wrote a blog article entitled, “I Don’t Need a Boyfriend.” It was Tim’s way of arguing against the disturbing and wrenching trend of relating to Jesus as lover in a metaphysical/physical way, an [...]
Drums Are the Devil’s Instrument and Rap Music Is from Hell
I was told this when I was n high school by different pastors. They couldn’t imagine the drum (once used in Satanic rituals and animistic dances, so they argued) could be used for God. There had to have been something terribly odious and pernicious about the thumping. The skins and wood must be evil. Forget [...]
