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”

Your World as I See it :”It’s Your Job!”

Editors Note: This is this is a continuation of a series 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 you areContinue reading “Your World as I See it :”It’s Your Job!””

Mark Driscoll 2.0?

Introduction And so it was that Jordan Peterson said the thing that the reformed movement was trying to avoid, and lo, they pretty much pretended he was a right wing nut job. And it might be much to their peril. Three things have come together times rather closely together and Peterson was the emulsifier forContinue reading “Mark Driscoll 2.0?”

Writers Block Grab Bag

Introduction One would think that after being trapped in nature for two solid weeks there would be much to talk about. Instead, I’ve really got nothing, but the commitment to try and post every Tuesday and Friday. As a result I am going to mention three things that piqued my interest over the weekend theContinue reading “Writers Block Grab Bag”

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. 

How Does This Keep Happening?

I am a fan of Life, Books, and Everything, a podcast that is mostly Kevin DeYoung’s. But was founded with Colin Hansen and Justin Taylor as co-hosts with DeYoung. I commend it to you. I think I have only heard one episode that I would consider to be dull. And while I listen for DeYoungContinue reading “How Does This Keep Happening?”

There are Other Categories

Introduction It’s not popular to talk of sin. New euphemisms are cropping up all the time to soften, make more palatable, seem less fundamentalist, not shame sinners. And even though this actual road to Hell is paved with good intention an unintended consequence is that in many churches today sin can not even be clearlyContinue reading “There are Other Categories”

The Stories He Tells Part 3

Introduction* I really respected Kevin DeYoung’s position that it would be best to wait until the conclusion of Mike Cosper’s Rise and Fall of Mars Hill before he rendered judgement. I spent a lot of time pondering DeYoung’s thinking. He sees Cosper has having a broad story to tell and upon completion stepping back toContinue reading “The Stories He Tells Part 3”
