“At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16: 11) Growing Dominion, Part 123 “Man’s goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?” (Prov. 20:24). This proverb relates to business directly. The apostle James says that it is arrogance and pride to say that we are going …
Christ Formed in You
The outline of Paul’s appeal is now plain. He then turns to make a personal appeal to the Galatians. Their potential apostasy involves much more than simply following an argument—although it includes that. That “much more” has to do with their personal relationship with Paul himself. Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for …
A Grasping Faith
“East Timor was an Islamic jihad against Christian infidels, identical in form and purpose to other tragedies caused by Islam’s insatiable appetite for other people’s lands, property, bodies, and souls” (Serge Trifkovic, The Sword of the Prophet, pp. 215).
Street Crud is not the Same as Street Cred
“It’s worth noting that, for all their reputation as street rebels, the Sex Pistols rarely ventured beyond the ‘playpens’ of the art colleges” (Martha Bayles, Hole in our Soul, p. 309).

“Ordination is an act of government; it is not a charm, or a means by which power or some special apostolic authority is passed on to the recipient” (Mother Kirk, p. 173).
Henry York Has Cupboards

A Guest Post from Jim Jordan
Christian Renewal published a letter by Dr. Beach critical of the Federal Vision, and Jim Jordan took the time to respond to it. Jim’s letter was so full of good info and historical details that I asked him if I could publish it here as well. I have heard that the edition of Christian Renewal …
The Old Elements and the New Christian Aeon
In this epistle to the Galatians, not only do we have a contrast between the old Israel and the new, we also have a contrast between the old world and the new, between the old heavens and old earth, and the new heavens and the new earth. Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye …
Dr. Frankenstani
“The assumption all along has been that the Islamic genie released by Dr. Brzezinski’s ‘excellent idea’ could be controlled through its eventual reduction to yet another humanistic project in self-celebration, through it adherent’s immersion in the consumerist culture, and through their children’s multicultural indoctrination by state education. How well it has worked we can see …
Rock Journalism
“Much of [Zappa’s] satire was well aimed, as when he famously defined rock journalism as ‘people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read’” (Martha Bayles, Hole in our Soul, p. 292).
