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”

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”
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”
Radio Silence
This is a follow up to a short impromptu posted previously on Friday that discusses options before churches on how to respond to the Nashville Presbyterian school murders at the hands of a woman who believed she was a man. Introduction And so it was that the murder of six members of the Body ofContinue reading “Radio Silence”
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”
More Zwinglian that Zwingli
I have been enjoying Gavin Ourtland’s Youtube channel lately. And I have been particularly edified by his work on icons and the Eastern Orthodox church. Granted he is far kinder and ecumenical than I would be, but that good will disagreement has not been expressed in return. I was particularly fascinated by the reaction toContinue reading “More Zwinglian that Zwingli”
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”
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”
But Don’t Have Too Much Joy…
I’ll begin by reiterating my dislike of the Crosspolitic crowd. I love their motto, which will play into this musing in a bit, but I deem their execution to be poor. So the kids from Moscow have distilled their cultural engagement down to: Fight, Laugh, Feast. And they do those things, I do think theyContinue reading “But Don’t Have Too Much Joy…”
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”
