Don’t Hand Satan the Microphone

In an interesting turn of events there has been an uptick in the news on a subject of which I have authoritative knowledge of and would like to contribute. The problem is my advice is a little self defeated by the writing of this article. Such is life. The Set Up The topic at handContinue reading “Don’t Hand Satan the Microphone”

A Novel Idea

One of the sassy little feminist retorts about modesty is that they should not have to dress in a way that will keep guys from lust. Basically assuming that the problem is entirely a problem of men and women are oppressed by it. The base problem with this line of reasoning fails to understand howContinue reading “A Novel Idea”

And the Ghouls Come Out

It was rather a dark question between Syme and I when he asked how long I thought it would be before the ghouls came out of the woodwork to dunk on Tim Keller after his sad passing. I wondered aloud if it would be woke progressives first or the far right discernment bloggers. Syme turnedContinue reading “And the Ghouls Come Out”

Wax On

I am not a big fan of Trevin Wax, but credit where credit is due I thought his recent post Please Don’t Weaponize Good-Faith Disagreement was bang on. At first I was a little trepidatious and assumed this was going to be another, third way, winsome, be nice, lecture. But in actuality Wax and I agree farContinue reading “Wax On”

If Only God Had Provided

And as my music minister clambers into his hamster wheel of repetitive verse so I mount the saddle of my hobby horse to once again bemoan the state of worship music in the church. An interesting study has come out examining the most popular “worship” songs and to no one’s surprise of the 38 songsContinue reading “If Only God Had Provided”

Missed Opportunity

Well the dream was fun while it lasted. It did seem for a little while there we had a real possibility that there would be some sort of Young Restless and Reformed 2.0 on the horizon. Alas the chances of that happening now are looking like slim to none and and Slim just left town. Continue reading “Missed Opportunity”

The Fellowship Book is Broken

Introduction Well I finally got around to it, and it was a slog. That is probably an unfair start to a book review, but I intend to keep this brief since I have very little nice to say. And my mother did try her best to drill into my head, “if you can’t say somethingContinue reading “The Fellowship Book is Broken”

Alternatively You Could…

I’ll begin by reminding you that I am a card carrying member of the troglodyte class. So what I say here is going to sound very much like a luddite, I am aware. But I wanted to briefly fill some space offering a solution to the problem presented by Melanie Hempe on TGC in anContinue reading “Alternatively You Could…”

Ten Minutes of What?

So here is something I never expected to speak in glowing terms of, a speech by Tucker Carlson. But I have to hand it to hime his remarks at the Heritage foundation were dynamite. The best summary was on Twitter from I know not who, but they nailed it: And while I would like toContinue reading “Ten Minutes of What?”

Article 200, An Update

Ok, Three years later here we are, still. This marks the spot after publishing the 200th article. Which if I am honest, was kind of a downer of a piece. Had I been thinking ahead I’d have swapped it for the fun deconstruction story one that I put up the previous week. Inexplicably the mostContinue reading “Article 200, An Update”
