About
The Daily Man is for the guy who wants to open his Bible before the day gets loud. We walk through Scripture one passage at a time and tackle the hard questions head-on, so you can know what you believe and answer for it when someone pushes back.
What we publish
Daily devotionals in bite-size portions, ready each morning. Weekly apologetics on Tuesdays for the questions that press against a Reformed, Scripture-first faith. Opinions are my takes on film, science, culture, and the news, weighed by Scripture.
Statement of faith
We stand with the historic Reformed faith as summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith, which we hold as a faithful summary of biblical teaching, with the exceptions and clarification stated below. We gladly confess the doctrines of grace, the sufficiency and clarity of Scripture, and the absolute sovereignty of God in creation, providence, and redemption.
Confessional alignment, stated exceptions, and clarifications
- Baptism. We baptize believers only, on a credible profession of faith, an exception to WCF 28.4. Immersion is strongly preferred but not required, in line with WCF 28.3. We keep Westminster's single covenant of grace but hold that the new covenant sign belongs to those who show its inward reality, since only they belong to it in substance (Jeremiah 31:33-34) (Colossians 2:11-12).
- Images of Christ. We allow careful artistic depictions of Christ for teaching, an exception to WCF 21.1 and Larger Catechism Q109. We reject idolatry and any use of an image in worship. Out of respect for our brothers who hold the Confession's view, we don't publish images of Christ on this site.
- Divorce. Divorce should be rare. We read WCF 24.6's willful desertion to include willfully endangering a spouse's safety, physically or emotionally, since that abandons the vows to love, honor, cherish, and protect even while the abuser stays under the same roof.
Authority
Scripture alone is the final authority. Confessions serve the church; they do not rule over the Word.
