Derek Thomas expresses what he thinks Calvin would have said. Much of this is simply incapable of interaction because I have no idea where Derek is getting his version of the New Perspective. My wish is that people would respond to Dunn, or Sanders, or Wright, or Garlington, etc. It is simply [...]
We celebrate Reformation Day because Reformation Day is important.
But we also celebrate Reformation Day that it may be important. Always important.
What would we be if we did not mention Reformation Day?
If Reformation Day were not kept, then people might not remember that the history of Western Europe is more important than any other history.
If [...]
The reason why you pay well is to get someone’s undivided attention. People can promise great work, but if they are distracted they simply won’t be able to fulfill that promise.
You pay to get life out of the way of your employee or contractor.

This sort of thing really seems self-destructive. How can someone believe they are doing a good thing through a “Hell House” ministry?
The perennial response seems to be “if one soul is saved…” But that won’t answer. We’re not only told to save souls; we’re told not to damn them. We forget [...]
This is a pretty amazing story about internet war and how the villains can destroy the good guys. Read it.

Since I haven’t figured out the sidebar yet, remember to check out Crimson Dark. Here is the latest page (at this time).
(I have to admit I’m getting frustrated with web comics. If someone had told me to only read a page of a comic book every two days, I would have told them [...]
I somehow managed to write this without including the line I thought of that made me want to create a context in order to write it.
Did Luther think of his 95 Theses as specifically “theology” over against other areas of life. I think he did. Why? For only one reason: he wanted [...]
Infant faith or infant seed faith (if not, full-blown faith, plainly still enough by which to be justified before God) has a long and unambiguous history in the Reformed heritage. It isn’t even a close call. Nevertheless, since anti-paedocommunionism is now reaching epistemological self-consciousness, we find some Presbyterians arguing that the Westminster Confession [...]
A lot of this is pure speculation, especially about Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone, of whom I know next to nothing for sure (web research brings both curse and blessing), other than that she is obviously extremely talented and just as obviously extremely anti-Christian.
I suppose the fact that I think there is some continuity between Madonna [...]
Suddenly blogger refuses to let me update my template. I don’t have time to do anything with it, but I am forced to move here. Congratulations on finding me.

Doug Bandow has written a column devoted to reviewing Bob Woodward’s book. Haven’t read the book so I can’t really comment with any confidence except to say that you might find the column worth reading
Here it is.

Good works of all sorts are necessary to our continuance in the state of justification and so to our final absolution, if God give opportunity: but they are not the cause of, but only a precedent qualification or condition to final forgiveness and eternal bliss.
John Ball was highly influential through his “A Treatise on the [...]
With all the attention WTS is getting for their conference on the Emergsomething (viral marketing here, here, here, and here) I thought I should point out another conference is coming up.
I haven’t found a pdf of the brochure yet, but on November 3 and 4, John Armstrong, David Dunbar and John Franke will be speaking [...]
…and I’m already coming back to the table.
All right, sorry about that. I’m too much in love extravagent gestures perhaps. I suspect blogging will be kind of light for the next couple of months for reasons I don’t want to get into.
In the meantime, the Horne family could use your prayers (and would [...]
I’m at one of those points where my finger is itching to push the delete button on this blog. But I’ve done that before and restarted so it doesn’t hold the same significance any more. Still, no more entries until at least January. Life is just not bloggable at this point, [...]
What’s really odd about the incarnation and Christology is how much the form it takes in Scripture does not provide a basis for “contextualization.” One is much better off going to Acts and the epistles to ground the need for and duty to contextualize.
As N. T. Wright has reminded us, Jesus did not come [...]
So the week I decide to handle all my email and links on the web so that I don’t have to worry about which computer or browser I’m using, I loose my web access at home.
Ironic, doncha think?

First of all, there is a content warning to what you might find via links or googling (as there is with almost any media matter ever mentioned on this or any blog, but I feel like reminding readers on this one).
The word “dooced,” if you look it up, has come to mean fired from one’s [...]
This is interesting. Of course, I would need to read the actual article to have any real opinion on the argument for divine impassibility from the book of Hebrews. However, I will express a provisional reaction to Pastor Ryken’s summary:
First, the very nature of the incarnation entails a change for the Son of [...]
