Masks and Modesty
Introduction There is a certain kind of woman that has made my upcoming conclusion like unto shooting fish in a barrel. She professes Christ, dresses in a such a provocative manner that might get him to tell her, “Get behind me Satan.” and is N-95 masked up to the nines out of love for herContinue reading “Masks and Modesty”

Juneteenth, Roe, the Squishes, and Screwtape.
Editors Note: This is the third in my series on mini evangelical elites. I decided to ditch the SBC stuff. For good commentary check out Aaron Renn. The two previous articles can be found here and here. On the front end let me just admit my struggle. I don’t understand how pastors keep missing this,Continue reading “Juneteenth, Roe, the Squishes, and Screwtape.”

I keep my expectations pretty low generally and therefore can walk around pleasantly surprised most of the time.

I am resolved to spill some ink on the topic of the video taken of a group of Christians on a flight that began singing praise songs at 30,000Continue reading “Obnoxious Not Oppressed”
Elite Status
This is going to be something of an informal introduction to a larger forthcoming article. I look forward immensely to Samuel D. James’ upcoming book. I have read him for years and read everything he has written that wasn’t behind a pay wall. He is supremely edifying, even on the rare occasion when he hasContinue reading “Elite Status”
A Call for Pastoral Prayers
“Above all – and again this I regard as most important of all – always respond to every impulse to pray… It is the work of the Holy Spirit… So never resist, never postpone it, never push it aside because you are busy. Give yourself to it, yield to it; and you will find notContinue reading “A Call for Pastoral Prayers”
Don’t Neglect Your Histories
In the providence of God there was a curriculum shortfall in the ministry I work for this semester. This required us to go back into our files and pull out an older series of lessons that had been discontinued by our publishing house several years ago. At the time we, as a staff were notContinue reading “Don’t Neglect Your Histories”
What Happened to Charity
Introduction There are several themes that have become apparent on this blog. And, at least to me, it has been interesting watching them develop. But one that has been more recent is my growing frustration with how the current generation, and below, dishonors the previous generation of Reformed leaders. And I mean specifically in ourContinue reading “What Happened to Charity”
