Take and read, take and read. Sunday, March 27, 2011. A Lesson from Philemon (or φιλεω). I read Philemon today. What a short and awesome little book on brotherhood. Christ, our brother, defines our relationships. In the letter you see:. Paul’s brotherhood with Philemon. Paul’s brotherhood with Philemon’s former slave Onesimus. Paul’s expectation for Philemon to receive Onesimus as a brother. I had never really looked at what Paul said about his relationship to Philemon. No, the joy and comfort I experien...

Take and read, take and read. Friday, December 9, 2011. No Doubt that Douthat's Got that Right. To many younger Americans, religious conservatism as they know it often seems to stand for a kind of institutionalized hypocrisy — a right-wing Tartufferie that’s incensed by the idea of gay wedlock but tolerant of straight divorce, forgiving of Republican sins but judgmental about Democratic indiscretions, and eager to apply moral litmus tests only on issues that benefit the political right.".
