Quivering Daughters

Site reader and frequent commenter OneSurvivor (who by the way has quite a good blog on abuse-related issues) has rediscovered the best way to get me to write a post: Ask me a good question! No really, do; it gets me talking like nothing else. She recently sent in this comment: [...] 
The 19th-century evangelist R. A. Torrey had a truly remarkable knack for explaining the Bible with striking clarity. Here is one of my favorite stories from his ministry, his account of creatively explaining to a worried young man exactly how and why he could have assurance of his salvation. It’s been known to [...]
By Eric M. Pazdziora I wrote this a few years ago around Mother’s Day, though with my wife in mind. It was also featured on Revelife.com to great reviews. In light of my recent article on Quivering Daughters, I thought it might be about time to pull it out again. Happy Mother’s Day, [...]
There’s a lot on my mind lately, but, though it’s not really a great pressing concern to me, I keep coming back to one particular issue. Perhaps that means it will be illuminating to somebody, so here it is. From several places, I’ve heard what appears to be a common objection to the [...]
Last time, I answered a question from a reader who wondered why there are so many hardships in the Christian life. I said that, according to what the Bible teaches, everything (good or bad) that God allows into our life is for the purpose of making us more like Jesus. But I didn’t [...]
or, If God Has a Wonderful Plan for My Life, Why Am I Suffering? From my files: September 2008. My long-time readers know that the best way to get a post out of me is for somebody to ask me a thoughtful question. That hasn’t happened as much lately as it used to, [...]
Today on a blog that discusses issues of spiritual abuse– the blog in question is directed to survivors of a high-control group that puts a lot of emphasis on finding God through physical suffering, righteous living, and other forms of legalism– a very interesting question was raised in this post: If you [...]
[From my archives.] Ah, those good old Pharisees. They’ve been dead and gone for centuries, yet we never tire of talking about the dangers of their beliefs. I’ve lost count of the number of sermons I’ve heard, articles I’ve seen, and books I’ve read that in some way or another caution the Christians [...]
A lot of people seem to read the Bible this way: [Note: that's apparently an actual book, oddly enough, but the following is not any kind of review or comment on it; I haven't read it and don't plan to.] God’s Little Instruction Book. Sounds pretty good, no? You [...]
This is a follow-up to my post “Hypocriticism”, which pointed out some of the causes and effects of Christian hypocrisy. Both were first published in August 2008. I should have known. It’s dangerous to write about hypocrisy, because that gets you thinking about it, and that gets you looking for [...] |
