How to look at Sodom’s Disintegration

How to look at Sodom’s Disintegration

By Sam A. Andreades March 16, 2026 March 14, 2026 0

I was so pleased to be able to say from the pulpit, “If you have same-sex-attraction, please come here! We’re here to stand w/those who want change in Christ.”

By Sam A. Andreades March 2, 2026 February 28, 2026 0

How To Forgive A Lot-Jesus on Daniel 9

By Sam A. Andreades February 16, 2026 February 15, 2026 0

Periodically we must lubricate intergendered love with forgiveness. Christ (using Daniel 9) gives us the way to, going way beyond tips to manage anger.

Sex from Proverbs 30-Appetite or Wonder

By Sam A. Andreades February 9, 2026 February 8, 2026 0

I find, particularly this passage, Proverbs 30:18-20, awe-inspiring on this topic. Its profundity touches on so much of our experience with this gift.

Making Love to Hard Hearts

By Sam A. Andreades February 2, 2026 February 1, 2026 0

Gender Glorious

By Sam A. Andreades January 26, 2026 January 25, 2026 1

Marriage for Love-Making, Singleness for Bliss

By Sam A. Andreades January 12, 2026 January 11, 2026 0

Resources on Transgenderism

What's a Real Man? What's a True Woman?

Is gender real? Does it matter in relationships? What does God think about it? So many diverse questions on peoples' lips today come down to the same thing: What does gender mean? Is it a construct of society or self-perception? Or is it a gift to foster intimacy and fruitfulness in our relationships?

.

This site fosters honest and thoughtful conversation about the pressing issue of gender. I write from a Christian perspective, placing great value on the Bible's wisdom about it. But just understanding the Bible's message on gender is a big job for our time, and so part of what we discuss here. We also take up questions posed by our current culture's sometimes confusing views on women & men, relationships and identity.

.

If you are new here, you might want to start with the Big Picture posts, Three Questions... and Want It In A Nutshell?, briefly outlining what I see as the seven main principles of gender.

.

The posts consist of commentary on current events, excerpts from my general book, transgenderism book, or book on dating, Biblical exposition, praise for the culture’s gender goodness and ruminations on its errors as I see them. We also welcome guest posts from gender-savvy writers.

.

Read, think, and join the conversation!
