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”
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”
We Do Have Enemies You Know
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”
Clarifying the Melting Pot
Introduction One of the particulars of Protestantism that Eastern Orthodox and Papists can not wrap their heads around is our ability to be sectarian. They claim to be unified in all things, even though after a little letting your fingers do the walking for you that it becomes apparent that they manifestly are not. ForContinue reading “Clarifying the Melting Pot”
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?”
The Stories He Keeps Telling: Keller Edition
Editors Note: Well it looks like we aren’t lucky enough for Old Man Cosper to throw in the towel so we can be done with this series. If you need to catch up click on the tag that says The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill and the previous posts will pop up. So whereContinue reading “The Stories He Keeps Telling: Keller Edition”
Despising Their Congregations
Editors Note: This is the second in an informal series ranging over understanding some nuances of “evangelical elites” big and small. It will also probably tie into the recent SBC controversy next week. Introduction I realize that the title is a heavy accusation. It might even be clickbait, I’m not sure. Perhaps it would beContinue reading “Despising Their Congregations”
Controversies and Keller
Introduction Following, rather sharpish, on the heels of last weeks impromptu covering the easy manipulation of “evangelical elites” by the government. I new wish to rise to the occasion and encourage charity or at the least call for the majors to stay the majors and the minors the minors. Tim Keller has managed to beContinue reading “Controversies and Keller”
This is a Problem
Introduction There is still such a thing as an unholy alliance and I think Christians who enjoy politics should consider this. Lewis, in the preface to Screwtape Letters, pointed out that there can be two equal and opposite errors. One error that became very apparent in the last few weeks was the story released byContinue reading “This is a Problem”
