Introduction Well, well, well! The Negative World is now in vogue. It turns out that the only problem with Aaron Renn’s Three worlds of evangelism was that is had yet to be sanded down and baptized into respectability by The Gospel Coalition. I begin with snark but need to be specific while not loosing myContinue reading “We Do Have Enemies You Know”

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: Go Go I Would not Wish You Back Again
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: Go Go I Would not Wish You Back Again”
Why Men Hate Going to Church
Introduction David Murrow popped up on my radar again and since he put out a new edition of Why Men Hate Going to Church I found a copy and went down the Youtube hole catching up. I haven’t paid too much attention to him since I first read his book back in the Mars HillContinue reading “Why Men Hate Going to Church”
Warning Shots Across the Bow
It should be borne in mind that I do not have my finger on the pulse of reformed evangelicalism as I used to. However, with my causal glance I can deduce that things are afoot and they are not exactly the smooth sailing that was expected after all of the problematic young restless and reformedContinue reading “Warning Shots Across the Bow”
A Melancholy Move
I knew the day would come. And it has. I have moved Mark Driscoll and Matt Chandler to the out of reach shelf on my library. By that I mean their books. Part of my personal library are two nine foot shelves, immediately behind my desk where I keep all of my most used bookContinue reading “A Melancholy Move”
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”
The Stories He Keeps Telling, Listen to this Instead
Ok, I was planning to just let this series trail off and die the kind of slow and panful death that the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast should have died long ago. Three things happened to cause me to put up this very brief installment. 1. Cosper pinky promised that there is onlyContinue reading “The Stories He Keeps Telling, Listen to this Instead”
Find out Her Name?
Introduction It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good theology, must be in want of a wife. And for some time now the standard understanding of why they were not getting married was that the young men were the problem. This was Mark Driscoll’s bread and butter teaching.Continue reading “Find out Her Name?”
