Quitting with the patch

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

We could be done with the recession and on the track to recovery. It would have been a horrible 2009 but we would be pulling out now. Instead, we are still lurching downward. How many decades will we be stuck here?

Dear Republican Congressmen and Senators,

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

If you can’t be the party of NO, then you are useless.

Israel was not a huge object lesson

Friday, January 15th, 2010

(What follows is basically a repeat of this post–which is true of many of my posts on Romans)
Peter asks, “Why didn’t the Son come in the flesh just outside Eden?”
I’m not happy with Peter’s answer. I suspect that it would have been true had Adam not sinned. Then, I think, the incarnation would [...]

The game is up (housing, mortgages, and moral pressure)

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

John Courson, president and C.E.O. of the Mortgage Bankers Association, recently told The Wall Street Journal that homeowners who default on their mortgages should think about the “message” they will send to “their family and their kids and their friends.” Courson was implying that homeowners — record numbers of whom continue to default — have [...]

Bella’s grandmother?

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

I’ve been enjoying Doug Wilson’s reviews of Twilight.  This morning I also discovered a book I’d never heard of, Elsie Dinsmore.  It is available online.
Here’s a sample, after a spoiled brat of a boy gets her in trouble (and escapes all punishment himself):
In the meantime the little Elsie sat at her desk, striving to conquer [...]

Remembering Tolkien’s killed friends

Friday, November 13th, 2009

Among young men in Britain, 1 in 8 were killed in WWI. However, among those going to Oxford, Cambridge and their feeder schools, the number rises to 1 in 5. The leadership class, for all its flaws, took a lead in the risks of war.
One might wonder what would happen in a society [...]

Some off-the-cuff reasons I’ll never be Roman Catholic

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Idolatry is a huge sin and praying through icons (whether 3d or 2d) is idolatry.  I cannot possibly engage in such a practice, allow anyone in my guardianship to do so, or excuse such a thing, without falling into rank unbelief.
Necromancy is almost as huge a sin and praying to the departed saints is necromancy.  [...]

The horror of October 31st

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Every year on this night I witness the unholy abomination of little children choosing green plastic candy over good chocolate.  The spirit groans within me.

What Martin Bucer learned from the Marburg Colloquy

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

If you immediately condemn anyone who doesn’t quite believe the same as you do as forsaken by Christ’s Spirit, and consider anyone to be the enemy of truth who holds something false to be true, who, pray tell, can you still consider a brother? I for one have never met two people who believed exactly [...]

Jeremiah 7 (for Evangelicals today)

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all you men of Judah who enter these gates to worship the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your [...]

Your life matters to your agenda

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Remember Clinton? Remember “bimbo eruptions”?
Now look at Obama. Do you see what a great family he has? Wouldn’t it be easier to oppose and obstruct Obama’s agenda if he were a philanderer?  A one-woman man makes a great leader for good or ill.
A personal life of integrity is a powerful political weapon. [...]

The committee of safety needs to teach presbyters to not stand in the way of their targets.

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

The Presbytery will also hear an overture from the session of FoothillsCommunityChurch in Sturgis, S.D. which asks for a BCO 31-2 judicial investigation of the views of TE Joshua Moon. This overture comes in response to the lengthy statement which TE Moon read on the floor of Presbytery defending his motion to exonerate TE Lawrence.

When you know being truthful will get you in trouble

Monday, October 5th, 2009

Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.
Truth is lacking,
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
–Isaiah 59.14, 15

“The Best Gun in the World” by Terence Gillespie

Monday, October 5th, 2009

The best gun in the world is the one you’ll have with you when you need it.
Seriously, the features of a gun you don’t have with you don’t matter.
Like most tools there’s an optimal gun for every task under the sun. The task here is to ensure you’ll always have it with you when you [...]
