“Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce.

E.Y. Mullins on the Suicide of Civilization
E.Y. Mullins was a late 19th, early 20th century Southern Baptist theologian who just so happened to be a fellow Fightin’ Texas Aggie (class of 1879 to be exact).

Feeling the Weight of Translating the Bible
I’ve got a number of friends who have felt the call of missions to the Nations, many for the intentional purpose of translating Scripture into the local language. If you really stop and think about it for a moment, it is a truly exhilarating opportunity. Not only could you share the gospel of Jesus Christ [...]

Unless I Am Convinced By Sound Reason: Has Our Pragmatic Defense Of Birth Control Undermined Our Understanding Of Biblical Ethics?
I enjoy being convinced of things, especially things that I had once held a strong opinion about (which is just about everything when it comes to me!). But like most people in this culture, I prefer to be convinced of facts rather than wisdom. Facts are typically clean, well formed, and easily digestible. Wisdom, on [...]

The Nature of Marriage: What Marital Sex has to do with Procreation and Homosexuality
As John Donne so famously said, “No man is an island.” And the same goes for spouses. Marriage is not just two people living in a loving, covenantal relationship between each other — rather it truly is a “one-flesh” union of husband and wife. This “one-flesh” standard that the Bible lays down for marriage is [...]

Folks, just so you know what’s going on behind the scenes here at LawnGospel, here’s the 411:

Flushing the Pill: The Dangers and the Decision to Refuse Them
I providentially came across this brother’s blog (a fellow Southern Seminarian) tonight and was very encouraged by what I read. Indeed, the Lord is changing hearts…
“One of the most dramatic flip-flops of the past year has been my view on birth control pills. Previously, I had no problem with such a friendly form of contraception. [...]

Birth Control in Light of the Image of God: Closing Arguments, and Parting Words
(The following post is the final partof a 5-part series entitled “Birth Control in Light of the Image of God“, modified from a paper I wrote for an M.Div. course in Systematic Theology II, April 2008)
It is very difficult to defend the non sequitur argument (mentioned in the previous post), because it is couched in [...]
