Women in the Gym

The Lies of Lust

By Sam A. Andreades October 11, 2026 October 11, 2026 0

The tragic moral fall of King David helps us confront the lies leading us to succumb to illicit desire, but also shows the defeat of the greatest lie of all.

Pornography: What’s the Big Deal?

Pornography: What’s the Big Deal?

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

Pornography is rather like trying to find out about a Beethoven symphony by having somebody tell you about it and perhaps hum a few bars.

Marriage for Love-Making, Singleness for Bliss

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

Does God Belong in the Bedroom?

Does God Belong in the Bedroom?

By Sam A. Andreades November 13, 2025 January 4, 2026 4

In marital covenant lovemaking, we imitate, in a toy way, divine intimacy. God does not have a body as we do, but we’re God’s image splayed out in space & time

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!
