Lincoln's 5-legged dog: the case against redefining marriage.
Abraham Lincoln was fond of asking, “If you call a dog’s tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?” “Five,” his audience would invariably answer. “No,” he would politely respond,” the correct answer is four. Calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg.”
Jesus, tongue piercing and the culture war
"Let Jesus be our teacher on what ought to outrage us [as individual expression and authenticity], but more importantly, on how we ought to treat those who advertise themselves through various rituals as being the “excluded individuals” religious people dislike the most."
What is the Gospel?
...because of doctrinal deficiencies expressed in American evangelicalism, we can’t assume that the gospel is clearly understood...
...The most serious threat to the gospel is, therefore, the attempts to limit the gospel about Jesus to ... a million other “nutshells.”
...The good news about Jesus is not limited to what he is now doing in our own lives. The good news about Jesus has no limits; it is what he did yesterday, what he is doing today, and what he will do forever. The news about Jesus Christ is a song that preceded the foundation of the earth and will be joyfully and everlastingly sung in the new creation.
