Let us conclude with an introduction. Let us finish up Christology with an approach to Christology. If Christ is a particular man, and He is also the universal man, then it follows that we have to know how to keep it simple and how, at the same time, to prevent it from being the wrong …
But Only As Long as You Are Facing Christ
“If you preach from your weakness, you’ll never run out of material” (Andy Stanley).
Better Listen to Pilate
Pilate knew that it was out of envy that the leaders of the Jews delivered Jesus up (Mat 27:18). We know that Pilate was not a godly or a courageous man — he failed to deliver Jesus even though he knew He was being railroaded, and even though his wife had sent him a message …
One More Visage
The most recent guest caricature has now been posted on the Logos Benefit Concert site — the visage concerned being that of Mark Reagan. For those interested, the night of the concert all the originals for these pictures, all by our own Jay Niemeyer, will be auctioned off.
My Kayak of Consistency

Say there is a particular job at the office building, or at the factory, or in the shop on Main Street. Who owns that job? The assumption behind collective bargaining is …
Smart as Paint
If the directors of private insurance companies ran their businesses the same way that the state runs its entitlement programs and pension plans, they would every man jack of them be in the slammer. And when I say “the slammer,” I mean chokey, the big house, the can, the clink, the bastille, the cooler, and …
Family Conference in London
Even though it has been snowing, I am already thinking in terms of “this spring.” And later this spring, Nancy and I will be traveling to Europe, and will be visiting our friends in the UK on the way back. We will be doing a family conference in north London, and more information can be …
