In Doctrine of the Knowledge of God, Frame constructed a cogent argument against Charles Hodge’s claim that the task of a theologian was to arrange the facts of Scripture in their “proper” order, like a scientist. That was an important move to give us exodus from modernity.
But almost as important, perhaps just as important, [...]

Just added Peggy Noonan’s archive to my website links. I should have been reading her all along for the last few years. If I had time I’d link the columns I’ve just run into that make me feel like I’ve robbed myself by not keeping up. But I don’t have it.
I almost want to compare [...]

Any ideas what happened to this blog? The monthly archives look fine. I can’t tell how this mess is possible.
Part Two
OK, I tried to copy the Jollyblogger by adding the scripts from badged.net in my posts. I experimented with this one. It stripped out everything but the ending script tag which somehow reached [...]

I continue to be torn as to whether 30boxes or Tasktoy should be my home page. Actually, so far Tasktoy has been the winner, but I keep second guessing myself.
One of the features on Tasktoy I felt was totally unnecessary was the different “locations” you could pick: work, home, errands, and groceries. It [...]

The Connect Our People blog is up and running. The first entry is more about paper than cyberspace. In any case, there will be no more blogs in this category, except perhaps to let you know I have written something new over there.

On my blog that I refuse to name or link from here any more, I mentioned something I think I can helpfully point out here.
Jandy has a really helpful review of blogging and 18th-century periodicals. What I want to point out is that the technology and the aura of institutional authority go hand in [...]

I almost missed this brief entry, but I’m glad I didn’t. It is gold.
What do outreach and the sacraments have to do with one another? In a word: guilt–”us” with two much and “them” with none.
In my opinion part of the none-guilt problem is that the entire Protestant world has developed a centuries-long [...]

Chris, found this (I guess he checked his feed reader before I did) and it is quite educational.

I have to admit, I simply can’t make any sense of this post.
According to the writer to the Hebrews, the giving of the law to Moses was accompanied by darkness, by tempest, by thunder, and by threat. Moses “exceedingly feared and quaked,” we are told. Its preamble notwithstanding, the function of the Decalogue was to [...]

I’m tired of idiotic issues tainting the public nature of this blog for sane people, whether Reformed or not or Christian or not.
That stays here.
Only time it gets linked from this site.

If you would like to show your support you can put the link button on your website somewhere. (Can someone show me how to put code to be copied on this blog? It doesn’t use the codes for the less than and greater than signs…)

I haven’t read the rest of this entry but I have to just add my testimony here:
“One side tends to argue that genuinely Reformed doctrine teaches one covenant before and after the fall, the imputation of Jesus’ passive obedience only, and faith that justifies because it obeys. The other side in contrast holds that the [...]

Reading this review, reminds me of some minor event that sort of became an epiphany for me. And I’ve done nothing about it.
It happened because Calvin had band. He had to play at the local private high school (I signed a paper about not revealing names on the internet–for security reasons that, I [...]

Wow!
I haven’t had a chance to look at this report yet, but I have to say it looks like the Vatican has its act together.
The Church’s interest in the Internet is a particular expression of her longstanding interest in the media of social communication. Seeing the media as an outcome of the historical [...]

David is not here speaking of the character in which God acts towards mankind in general, but what his own children find him to be. We have already seen in Psalm 18:26, that he is stern and severe towards the obstinate and rebellious; and even though he act with kindness towards them, in mercifully exercising [...]

This invocation of J. C. Ryle is interesting. However, all you have to do is compare Ryle to John Calvin or Turretin and Pictet, or Zacharias Ursinus, and a much different story is immediately evident.
In my opinion, we should remain Confessional rather than innovating.
Necessity of New Obedience
Westminster Standards & Sacramental Efficacy
And, in fact, that [...]
