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…”
Your World As I See It: That Sexy Article
Editors Note: This is this is a continuation of a series normally within the impromptus section. I call 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 youContinue reading “Your World As I See It: That Sexy Article”
The Pastors Study
I was talking with a pastor who, before his sermon, showed an icon that was a depiction of the Trinity in three human forms conversing. And when I pointed out that to do so was sin, he was confused. I further directed him to the second commandment: “You shall not make for yourself a carvedContinue reading “The Pastors Study”
The Inconsistency of Immodesty
I believe that it was Owen Barfield that made the point in Screwtape Letters it is said, “Your man has been accustomed, ever since he was a boy, to have a dozen incompatible philosophies dancing about together inside his head.” Barfield went on to say that Lewis was so unlike that description and unified ofContinue reading “The Inconsistency of Immodesty”
But Nothing to Offer
The Western Evangelical Reformed church has been wringing its hands for some time now over the problem it has with men. And that introductory sentence can cut both ways. One way is that a good part of the church seems to think that it has a problem because men are masculine and toxic. The otherContinue reading “But Nothing to Offer”
Comedians Talk
Introduction Far be it from me to critique Mark Dever, I adore the man and am throughly appreciative of 9 Marks. I know that they have come under criticism lately for going woke. And frankly while I may have disagreed with some of their early in COVID thinking and I think that Thabiti Anyabwile hasContinue reading “Comedians Talk”
Bonus Round Review
Tuesday I reviewed Harry Lee Poe’s biography trilogy on C.S. Lewis. Over the past weekend I viewed the movie The Most Reluctant Convert: The Untold Story of C.S. Lewis. To simply say that the movie ended up being almost exactly what my, somewhat low, expectations were would short circuit this review. While remaining brief IContinue reading “Bonus Round Review”
Becoming, Making, and Completing C.S. Lewis, A Book Review
I am not sure why but I was not expecting to like Harry Lee Poe’s biographical trilogy on C. S. Lewis: Becoming C.S. Lewis, The Making of C.S. Lewis, and The Complete C.S. Lewis. It likely has something to do with the scope of the thing just looking daunting. Or with my growing concern withContinue reading “Becoming, Making, and Completing C.S. Lewis, A Book Review”
