So today’s casual conversation on the Bully Pulpit is about Daniel Block’s excellent book, For the Glory of God: Recovering a Biblical Theology of Worship. Carl, Todd, and I point out some sections of the book that stood out to us, and give an overview. As you can see, things started out cordial between the […]

Starting this Friday, things are going to look a little different here at Housewife Theologian. This house has been a lot for me to take care of by myself, especially since I really don’t know a thing about technology. But I love the people in it (you readers) and I have really grown through this […]

In titling both my blog and my first book Housewife Theologian, I am constantly trying to get the message out that everyone is a theologian. That is, we all have a knowledge of God, even the layperson. Atheists also have a knowledge of God, it’s just wrong. We are all theologians in a sense. The […]

Okay, so the Ref Pack decided to have a sophisticated conversation today about baptism. Really, we did. And although the three of us are all Presbyterians, I think the Reformed Baptists will appreciate how we interacted with their confession. No, I’m not being snarky; I’m being serious! @Reformation21 @aimeebyrdhwt @toddpruittcos thanks for accurately reppin' #1689rs […]

Okay, so I don’t know many people who aspire to be ordinary. We grow up being told we are special. What would our parents think if we just turn out to be regular people? So if you write a book encouraging Christians to be content with ordinary ministry in ordinary life, there needs to be […]

For some reason I woke up with the song “Signs” stuck in my head. So I thought I’d go ahead an repost an article I wrote two years ago that stole a line from it for the title. Some church signs seem to have become equivalent to the placard signs homeowners proudly stake in their […]

Have you heard of the Patriarchy movement? Patriarchy means “father-rule,” and this movement has some interesting theology and applications for the leadership roles of men. They call it “Biblical Patriarchy” because those who practice it believe that their understanding and application of Scripture is the true Christian way. Today’s Mortification of Spin is an extended […]

I love getting the mail. You never know when you’re going to get a fun surprise. The other day I received an advanced reader’s copy of Michael Horton’s new book, Ordinary: Sustainable Faith in a Radical, Restless World. I read the first chapter last night before the premier of Blacklist aired (Anyone? Blacklist? Anyone?). First […]

I’ve noticed a theme lately in some of my reading in blogs, magazines, and books. Basically, guys can’t have close, dare I say vulnerable, friendships with other guys or they will lose their man card. Carl Trueman recently shared something Scot McKnight posted on Charles Marsh’s biography, Strange Glory: A Life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. With […]

Today we have a reluctant Dr. Michael Horton take a psychological test to see if we can continue interviewing him for the podcast. Fortunately for you guys, he passed. But we were a little worried after the first question. In fact, we got him a new tie to wear for any future casual conversations that […]
