My Deconstruction Story

With the prospect of a long Easter weekend before me I decided it was high time for me to engage in the theological equivalent of a mid life crisis. I am proud to announce that I have deconstructed. I can see clearly now the vast empty nothingness since I have successfully demolished that tacky ChristianContinue reading “My Deconstruction Story”

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”

By the Hammer of Christmas 2.0

Editors Note: It being the week of Christmas I am posting a shorter article for all five of you to snicker at then go back to spending time with the actual human beings who are with you. You can read the previous installment here. It has been a couple of years since I have waxedContinue reading “By the Hammer of Christmas 2.0”

Three Pronouns Walk into a Bar

Introduction I will begin with the obvious that I will be “punching up” (which I am told is the only acceptable way to crack any jokes) in this critique. Although it might be more fair to say I am moving above my pay grade. But things have been slow in these parts and this isContinue reading “Three Pronouns Walk into a Bar”

A Life in Three Words

There is a minimalist way to do a social media bio which manages to be both wildly uninformative and obnoxious. At least to me. It is the three words that the person in question thinks best sums them up in a style possibly created by P.T. Barnum (The man, the myth, the legend). Much likeContinue reading “A Life in Three Words”

Comedy Before the Seat of Scoffers

Introduction And just when I thought I had nothing to post Brian Mattson rushed to my aid with an interesting third part in his, “unplanned series on Christian conduct in the public square.” Which means I will do a second piece in so many weeks on Christians and comedy. First things first here are theContinue reading “Comedy Before the Seat of Scoffers”

Of Pharisees and Dissected Frogs

Over the past few years, really since the election of one Orange Man, it has been a pretty common refrain that late night comedy is simply not funny. Technically, jokes are made, an audience laughs on cue, but it’s joyless. The jokes hit the right pattern of a joke, the delivery is perfectly timed andContinue reading “Of Pharisees and Dissected Frogs”

Fencing the Hammer

Introduction It should be known that the Pharisees in the days of Christ were known for “fencing” the written law of God, or creating the “oral” law. The idea being if we don’t want to come close to breaking the law of God new very specific laws must be created around the written law. ThenContinue reading “Fencing the Hammer”

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.

Haunted House of Worship

Back in the day a haunted house was verboten for the righteous, instead we participated in Judgement House… For the un initiated this was a similar tour where a group of people would be herded through a series of Sunday School rooms where a story would unfold, following a minimum of two characters who wouldContinue reading “Haunted House of Worship”
