Hmmm…

I am not a very inspirational kind of person. I don’t like it when people try to inspire me or get me excited about things. I keep my expectations pretty low generally and therefore can walk around pleasantly surprised most of the time. I especially despise treacle like writing that is, to borrow the ChristianContinue reading “Hmmm…”

Interpretation Weak

Image Tom’s Doubts #14 I was sent a Twitter thread by my friend and occasional contributor D.W. Syme, that he felt was a good example of the trend of, “Lots of, ”Bible believing” Christians currently being “liberated” from conservative positions because, hey, that was just an interpretation, and we are human after all so maybeContinue reading “Interpretation Weak”

Your World as I See it: Surplus to Requirement

Editors Note: This is the second in a new series in the impromptus section. I am calling it Your World as I See it by Astor Clement. Similar to Doug Wilsons No Quarter November, I will, under the pseudonym, be offering my unvarnished opinions at will. As to that nome de plume, if you areContinue reading “Your World as I See it: Surplus to Requirement”

So Long Roe

Editors Note: Having passed along to me some kind of disease my good friend D.W. Syme has made a contribution to this blog which I am delighted to publish. It is possible that one of the greatest blows for justice since the civil rights era is about to be struck. We know this thanks toContinue reading “So Long Roe”

Obnoxious Not Oppressed

Introduction It is a dark day indeed when I find myself condemning something along with the representative from Minnesota Ilhan Omar. And yet here we are. I am resolved to spill some ink on the topic of the video taken of a group of Christians on a flight that began singing praise songs at 30,000Continue reading “Obnoxious Not Oppressed”

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

I love it when Kevin DeYoung lets his snark out. I have nothing to say today other than if you can listen to the audio version read by DeYoung do that over just reading it. https://wng.org/opinions/we-live-in-confusing-times-1648558031 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-and-books-and-everything/id1526483896?i=1000556152736 I wish I could write this well. Bravo Kevin. Bravo.

Lying Liars who Lie Lies

This post is the continuation of last Friday’s post on Evangelicals working through the rising problem of the Evangelical Elite. Introduction It is ironic the amount of pushback one can receive from simply stating a truth. Aaron Renn pointed out the inconvenient fact that liberal, even liberals in the church have no problems lying ifContinue reading “Lying Liars who Lie Lies”

Elite Status

This is going to be something of an informal introduction to a larger forthcoming article. I look forward immensely to Samuel D. James’ upcoming book. I have read him for years and read everything he has written that wasn’t behind a pay wall. He is supremely edifying, even on the rare occasion when he hasContinue reading “Elite Status”

Some Random Thoughts on Mars Hill

Introduction Since Mike Cosper has seen no reason to cease flogging the Mars Hill horse. I suppose there is no reason for me to not follow suit, mostly for my own amusement. Therefore, in no particular order… One: Is it possible that Driscoll and his critics were/are speaking past each other due to word choice?Continue reading “Some Random Thoughts on Mars Hill”

A Call for Pastoral Prayers

“Above all – and again this I regard as most important of all – always respond to every impulse to pray… It is the work of the Holy Spirit… So never resist, never postpone it, never push it aside because you are busy. Give yourself to it, yield to it; and you will find notContinue reading “A Call for Pastoral Prayers”
