The Housewife Theologian

My friend Dana is on a roll. Not even two weeks after writing her wonderful article, The Wine Kitchen , she submitted this article about her struggle with the word Easter . So enjoy my new Housewife Theologian guest blogger, Dana Tuttle, once more!: Ah, Easter…bunnies, chocolate, jelly beans, and...

For the same reason that atheists are, we talk about God too much. For some cockamamie reason, I don’t have a “Housewife Theologian” Facebook page. I know it’s not the smartest (non)move, but it fits in the same category for why I never joined a sorority—I don’t feel the need to ask people to like...

This is usually a positive statement, but it didn’t turn out that way for David. I’m sure you are familiar with the clever confrontation Nathan the prophet had with Kind David in 2 Samuel 12:1-15. I’ve been reflecting on it this week. First of all, there’s a little history. We see Nathan introduced...

[caption id="attachment_1887" align="alignleft" width="183"] That's *Byrds[/caption] Sometimes when I push the “publish” button I’m even more scared than usual. Even though my last article was about caring too much about what other people think, I find myself still worried that I’m going to offend...

Edward T. Welch, What Do You Think of Me? Why Do I Care? (New Growth Press, 2011) Edward Welch cares way too much about what other people think about him. No really, he does. He says so in his book. That’s why he wrote it. In fact, he found himself needing to go over and over again the principles...

I wrote this article a little while after signing my first book contract. About a year after it was published, a friend asked me if I regret writing the article. I can honestly say that I don't. As a matter of fact, I stand behind it even more now. Sure, I participate in marketing and think...

In Part 1 of The Christian Creed , I shared how Puritan Edward Reynolds (1599-1676) referred to Psalm 110 as “’ symbolum Davidicum’ , the prophet David’s creed” ( The Whole Works of Right Reverend Edward Reynolds, Vol. 2 ). This Psalm, containing a mere seven verses, reveals the Christian...

Puritan Edward Reynolds (1599-1676) referred to Psalm 110 as “’ symbolum Davidicum’ , the prophet David’s creed” ( The Whole Works of Right Reverend Edward Reynolds, Vol. 2 ). This Psalm is quoted more than any Psalm in the New Testament, and there is some recent scholarship suggesting that Hebrews...

There’s a great article in the latest March/April 2013 issue of Modern Reformation Magazine interviewing Thomas Bergler about his book, The Juvenilization of American Chrisitanity . I haven’t read the book yet, but I enjoyed the interview. One thing that Bergler said particularly stood out to me:...

This repost is kind of a eulogy. If only I knew I was pulling my last espresso shot... This is a picture of my beloved, Ma Lady . She is a Gaggia Achille lever espresso machine (Insert Tim-the-tool-man grunting). Every morning I long to see her face and flip on her switch. I know her intimately:...
