Epictetus on Wrestling
12 Nov., 2018 The “Golden Sayings” of Epictetus, the first century Greek philosopher, were compiled by a contemporary philosopher and historian, Arrian. Epictetus is the main authority on Stoic morals of which he gained an understanding probably from the lectures of C. Musonius Rufus. Of the 189 Sayings, many reference wrestling. I am happy to […]
Baptismal modes
31 July, 2017 Dear Dale, I am offering you some thoughts regarding your “Baptism Sermon” as we might call it – on Sunday.

Ya Turn ’em Loose!
8 November, 2018 The message to our President regarding our anti-abortion prisoners of Christ must be: “Ya turn ’em loose.” That scene in the film, “A Time to Kill,” based upon John Grisham’s novel by the same title comes strongly to mind. There on the witness stand is the sheriff who was maimed by the […]
Sacred Sex and Secular Dope
