    Media do not merely carry content; they also create mentalities, sensibilities, and intuitions. As the medium of the internet has developed, few of its practitioners have considered how this new form of communication affects the larger ecosystem of culture and human interaction.

    The 103rd Psalm comes pretty close to perfect praise. It seems to be built around the quotation of God’s own self-description from Exodus 34, The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but…

  • Housekeeping

    Like her biblical namesake, the Ruth of Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping (1980) is a sojourner among strangers. The almost misleading title of the novel suggests that the novel will be concerned with the daily habits that constitute and stabilize domestic life. Instead, the novel’s protagonists inhabit their house without feeling at home. Similarly, they live in…

    The church is a visible reality. Sort of. Evangelicals frequently forget, neglect or disdain the notion of the church’s visibility. This is more often than not a function of an ecclesiological minimalism. We get antsy around institutions and formalities, and we rejoice in the simplicity of the gospel. Do you trust in and love Jesus?…

    When teaching about the means of grace, John Wesley habitually listed three things: prayer, Bible study, and the Lord’s supper. Those are the three in his best exposition of the doctrine of the means, and in many other places: GOD hath in Scripture ordained prayer, reading or hearing, and the receiving the Lord’s supper, as…
