  • Letters to the Editor #21 (Plodding, Provocation, Atheism)

    Today I’ve got a new batch of letters to the editor. Some weeks I get many and some weeks I get few. This week was somewhere right in the middle, I think. Here we go! Comments on A Call for Plodding Bloggers There was quite a response to my call for plodding bloggers which showed…

  • Letters to the Editor #20 (Forgetting, Drafting, Evolution)

    The last couple of weeks have been fairly quiet when it comes to letters to the editor. Not surprisingly, the majority of them dealt with the article I wrote on evolution and the age of the universe. Here are a small selection of letters. Comments on Spiritual Drafting and the Danger of Christian Complacency Thanks…

  • Letters to the Editor #19 (Diversity and Furtick)

    There were quite a number of letters to the editor this week, and they were mostly related to two articles. Once again, my gratitude goes to all those who took the time to write. Comments on Did God Break the Law for Love? To add to your excellent refutation of Furtick, whom I confess I…

  • Letters to the Editor #18 (Public Schools, Gossip)

    Not surprisingly, this was a busy week for letters to the editor. I say it is not surprising because of the article I wrote on Monday concerning public schools and their teachers. The majority of the letters today (and, indeed, almost all of the letters I received this week) concern that article. I’m grateful that…

  • Letters to the Editor #17 (Saints, Race, and Opportunities)

    It was something of a quiet week for letters to the editor, and this despite writing an article on Roman Catholicism, typically rather a hot topic. Here are a few of the noteworthy letters: Comments on What Does It Take To Be Made a Saint? Comments on Black & Reformed Hello Sir. The article Black…

    Letters to the Editor #16

    With the start of another week comes another selection of letters to the editor. This was a lively week for letters and the ones I publish below represent a cross-section of the feedback from readers like you. Comments on An Intimidating Opportunity With all due respect intended in tone and text…. “How could I explain…

  • Letters to the Editor #15 (Alcohol, Affluence, and More)

    There were not a lot of letters to the editor this week which probably indicates that I stuck mostly to non-controversial topics, or that I stuck to full-out boring topics! That said, I did receive some interesting ones; this is a selection. Comments on The Spiritual Disease Ravaging Our World Thanks for the good article…

  • Letters to the Editor #14 (Sex in Movies, Messy Grace, Bathsheba Bathing)

    With the start of another week comes another selection of letters to the editor. This was a lively week for letters and the ones I publish below represent a cross-section of the feedback from readers like you. Comments on Why Did God Create the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil? I’m curious about…

  • Letters to the Editor #13 (Parenting, Bad Preaching, Evening Services)

    With another Sunday, we have another batch of letters to the editor. These letters focus in on just a few of the articles I have posted over the past 2 weeks. Comments on An Unexpected Blessing of Parenting After reading the post, I get it that the picture is probably supposed to show a father…

  • Letters to the Editor #12 (Books and Ebooks, Christians and Mormons)

    With another Sunday, we have another batch of letters to the editor. I received plenty of comments on my article about preaching the gospel to Mormons. Several of them were from practicing Mormons who, not surprisingly, strongly disagreed with what I said. Here are some of the other responses I received. Comments on When the…

    Letters to the Editor #11 (Christians and their Books)

    This week’s letters to the editor were almost all in response to my article Going All-in With Ebooks. I suppose this is not too surprising since Christians in general, and perhaps especially Christians who read a site like this one, tend to be committed readers. Every committed reader has an opinion, and often a very…

    Letters to the Editor #10 (Sleepovers, Christians, Guns)

    Once again, here is a selection of Letters to the Editor. The most popular article I’ve ever written is Why My Family Doesn’t Do Sleepovers. While I wrote it long before I invited letters to the editor, as soon as I allowed letters, they began to flow in. Here is a selection that represents the…

  • Letters to the Editor #9 (All About Date Nights)

    This week’s letters to the editor dealt almost entirely with the article I wrote about date nights. Now, I thought the article quite clearly communicated that date nights are fine and dandy, but simply not necessary. Hence the title You Don’t Need a Date Night. Unfortunately, some people took me as saying “Date nights are…

    Letters to the Editor #8 (Homemaking, Reading, Humility)

    Blogs were never meant to be one-way communication. Because of the increasing difficulty in maintaining a helpful commenting section, I have recently added a Letters to the Editor feature. Today I share some recent letters to the editor. This week’s Letters to the Editors were almost entirely focused on three articles. Comments on Homemaking In…

  • Letters to the Editor #7 (Homemaking, Plausibility, Porn)

    Blogs were never meant to be one-way communication. Because of the increasing difficulty in maintaining a helpful commenting section, I have recently added a Letters to the Editor feature. Today I share some recent letters to the editor. This week’s Letters to the Editors (and last week’s, since I didn’t post any last week) were…

  • Letters to the Editor #6 (Peanuts, Comments, Extremists, and More)

    Blogs were never meant to be one-way communication. Because of the increasing difficulty in maintaining a helpful commenting section, I have recently added a Letters to the Editor feature. Today I share some of the letters to the editor that have come in this week—letters that are representative of the ones I received recently. I…

  • Letters to the Editor #5

    A couple of months ago I made the decision to remove the comment section on my blog. I did so largely because comments can only succeed where there is good moderation, and I was increasingly unable to provide that. In lieu of comments I have decided to accept (and encourage) letters to the editor. Today…

  • Letters to the Editor #3

    A couple of months ago I made the decision to remove the comment section on my blog. I did so largely because comments can only succeed where there is good moderation, and I was increasingly unable to provide that. The fault, then, was not in the commenters, but in me. In lieu of comments I…
