From his “God’s Immeasurable Love“
Through all the years, one increasing purpose runs, one increasing purpose: the kingdoms of the earth become ever more and more the kingdoms of our God and his Christ. The process may be slow; the progress may appear to our impatient eyes to lag. But it is God who is building! [...]
I tumbled this post from Jeff, as you can see in my recently improved sidebar, but I have to blog about the Dabney quotes. They remind me of the insanity that results from trying to argue with one’s child about various fashion/music/culture choices by a form of alleged presuppositionalism. If it means that much to you, just forbid [...]
Wow. (hat tip)

I’ve run into a business problem. Any of you know what I’m missing? If I need to go back to XP, that will be difficult or impossible.
By the way, even with Camino, the new update of Wordpress only shows me four of my WYSIWYG options. I have to switch from Visual to Code to do [...]
George Banks goes insane about how the family is all cheerful. He wants it to stop. In the midst of all the directions he is shouting about how the family should be managed, he notices by happenstance that the piano is out of tune and tells his wife to get it fixed.
”But George, you don’t [...]
I knew about this but forgot about it until just now. Here is the Mises Institute’s recommendations for movies. This may violate some ideal of separating art and politics. I prefer to think of separating art and “preaching” (Like Ayn Rand did [i.e preaching, no separation at all!]; and some of these movies may fail by [...]
(Click on pictures to read about event.)
But then again, I may prefer the action shot to posing:What do you think?

What happens when a Reformed Protestant sees an argument for Roman Catholic prayers to the dead? Or Roman Catholic suffering in Purgatory to make up for sins to merit Heaven? Or Eastern Orthodox arguments for icons? Or the rite of chrismation?
Pretty much, mocking ridicule, not just because the conclusion is wrong but [...]
that a vacuum is being left by the passing of these men from “the Right,” and no leader is coming close to fulfilling it. There is a market. Fox News and the Ron Paul campaign (however poorly it did, it still beat Giuliani to a pulp) prove that.
But there is no one who [...]
So if this guy doesn’t act according to instructions (assuming that no one is issuing secret orders with the plan to blame it on computer malfunction), who is going to hit the reboot button?

John Barah posts a fantastic observation on the resurrection theme which Mark laces throughout his Gospel. John shows that when Jesus rose up early in the morning on the first day of the week and his disciples had to hunt for him, that the event is described in ways that foreshadow the resurrection scene [...]
Since John Wright blogged about it, I decided to purchase a copy of The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane. I thought it might be OK at some point to encourage my boys to read.Don’t think so.For one thing, the racism about Africa is just too much to bear. Kane would never be a [...]
Now, quit rubber-necking at the accident on the information superhighway and get back to real marketing work :)
Sure. But do take a moment to glance and snicker.

James writes,
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and [...]
Before you read my quotations, feel free to look up all the praise heaped upon Samuel Miller’s book on The Ruling Elder.
Anyway, Miller writes in Chapter 7,
The celebrated Professor Neander, of Berlin, was mentioned in a preceding chapter, as probably, the most profoundly learned Christian antiquarian now living. In addition to the quotation from him [...]
But Jennifer made chocolate-covered bananas for the kids and called me upstairs to eat a half that she had reserved for me.
Instead of polemics I got chocolate. It was a profitable trade off. (You all know what I’m thinking about, right?).
So I’m avoiding the embrace of a (possible) tar baby. Great. [...]
One of the problems with this chart is that the black line of unbelief only passes through Creation, Fall, and unbelief, and doesn’t touch on Christ the mediator. I guess this is because “mediator” is being used as a specialized theological term that only entails ultimate salvation. Fine, but I doubt your going [...]
I mentioned in my BH post,
It has been said in our Puritan history that we serve a “precise God.” Fine. Then lets all be good “precisionists” precisely where God himself has provided us with precise detail. Dismissing the entire book of Leviticus with a shibboleth that “Christ fulfilled the sacrifices,” so we can go on [...]
Start with Doug Jones. Here is a really helpful list of links to his writing.
Then, for those who aren’t going to find and read Theology After Wittgenstein by Fergus Kerr, consider this great help from another blogger:
into the mire!
Theology After Wittgenstein 1
Theology After Wittgenstein 2
Theology After Wittgenstein 3
Little Mortal Absolutes
“Epistemological Robinson Crusoes”

OK, that probably went better than I had any write right to expect (don’t even ask about my homonym confusion).
But I’m not excited about widgets anymore. At least not until I have time to edit everything and anything unique I did to this template and put it in a text box. Yuck.
