Reformed North American Pastors are Not the Center of the Universe or the Church

Much food for thought in “Gender, race and the Pentecost: God has moved on” (updated: now gone) by Pastor Jonathan Martin. It was written in response to the recent fiasco over the Wilson and Wilson post at The Gospel Coalition. We have such a narrow view of how God is working in the church in …

Doug Wilson, Jared Wilson, The Gospel Coalition, and the Logical Conclusions of Complementarian Theology

Back in 2010, I wrote a series of posts exploring a woman’s freedom in Christ, focusing on the increasing number of problems I saw with the complementarian view as it was being promoted among some of its more prominent spokesmen and women. I was at the point where I could no longer call myself a …

Voskamp, Challies, One Thousand Gifts, and What is Truly Ironic to Me

In recent weeks much was written about the exchanges between Tim Challies and Ann Voskamp regarding Challies’ review of her book, One Thousand Gifts. He didn’t like the book, she sort of responded, and he sort of backed down when she invited his family to dinner. I will confess that I haven’t read the book. …

I’m Really Not Into the Postmodern Messiness

I recently left a comment on another blog that I tend not to read blogs written by younger women. There are exceptions, to be sure, but most of my blog reading is comprised of women who are closer to my own age, give or take several years. A lot of it has to do with …

Ten Reasons Men Should Not be Ordained for Ministry

I found this floating around the internet. It draws brilliant parallels with some of the inane reasons given for why women shouldn’t lead in the church. I looked for an author, but couldn’t find one. If anyone knows who wrote it, please let me know! 10. A man’s place is in the army. 9. The …

Christian Women Who Love Wallowing In Sin

The other day I read a post by a prominent Christian blogger that left me saddened and concerned. It reflected what I have come to see in recent months as a pervasive problem in segments of the church. I’m not linking to the post because I have no quibbles with this blogger. I am simply …

The Future of the Church Courtesy of Acts 29 Network and Mark Driscoll

Yesterday I turned 45. I’ve lived a lot of life and experienced quite a bit in those 45 years. When I said in Mark Driscoll Says Macho Men and Dudes are the Key to the Future of the Church that I believed we were going to see a person’s views on the roles of men and …

Sallie Schaaf Borrink

I’m a Christian, wife, homeschool mom, battle-seasoned blogger, and happy warrior for Christ. I discuss how Christians who don’t fit dominant institutional church and cultural narratives are already living truthfully and faithfully in the body of Christ.

“Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.” Acts 17:11

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
