Rod on the Deeper Things That Shape Us
Abortion: The Great Moral Evil of Our Time

Abortion: The Great Moral Evil of Our Time

by Rod D. MartinMay 3, 2022 Slavery was the great moral evil of another time. Abortion is the great moral evil of our time. The Dobbs ruling is like the Emancipation Proclamation: both glorious and incomplete, better than many had dared to hope for and also the best...

Yes, “Cultural Christianity” Was a Good thing

Yes, “Cultural Christianity” Was a Good thing

by Rod D. MartinDecember 18, 2021 I’m listening to all these wonderful Christmas songs from the 1940s and 50s, probably mostly sung by unbelievers, thinking: How very short-sighted and ungrateful all those pastors and pundits were a few years ago railing against...

Wokeness, Like All Marxism, Is About Power

Wokeness, Like All Marxism, Is About Power

by Rod D. MartinDecember 2, 2021 Here, Grant Gaines tells us that you're only allowed to support the overturning of Roe v. Wade if you do it for non-Christian reasons. He says that if you oppose abortion because of anything the Bible says, you're a "Christian...

Jesus is a Capitalist

Jesus is a Capitalist

by Rod D. MartinMarch 29, 2021 Jesus is a Capitalist. Yes, this will come as a shock to your gender studies professor, your hippie uncle, and perhaps even your (non-economically trained) pastor. But it's true. The entirety of Scripture not only assumes but establishes...

“Christian Nationalism”?

“Christian Nationalism”?

by Rod D. MartinMarch 12, 2021 When you ask these guys (by which I mean, reasonably prominent Millennial pastors who support Beth Moore, Russell Moore, et al.) to define their made-up term "Christian nationalism", they say things like: • having a flag in church • or...

A Little History of the NFL

A Little History of the NFL

by Rod D. Martin September 20, 2018 A little (very recent) history of the NFL: * In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling for each game to pray. They also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his eye-black to avoid glare, and made him take...

Russell Moore and II Chronicles 7:14

Russell Moore and II Chronicles 7:14

by Rod D. Martin August 25, 2018 I was reading today in Jeremiah, and I thought of Russell Moore (and a decent number of his followers). For Fourth of July (of course), Russell tweeted that II Chronicles 7:14 does not apply to America. This point seems to be cheered...

Why Politics Matters

Why Politics Matters

by Rod D. Martin August 2, 2018 An end of day note before I leave my desk for dinner. On this day in 1934, Adolf Hitler became Fuhrer of Germany. He did not achieve this by conquest or coup, by revolution or revolt. Rather, he won an election. And then he used...
