We continue to introduce guests who will be making this benefit concert for Logos a happening deal. This week is my good friend Dave Hatcher, from the other side of the Cascades. Check it out here.
Out of the Reach of Sarah Palin’s Enemies
Progressives have a very tenuous grasp of the basic realities of causation, but they have an uncanny awareness of the need to control the narrative. If anything whatever happens, of a significance that is worthy of comment, they fit it into their narrative, and they do so immediately. They are marvelous at staying on message. …
Samuel and Kelsie
The Scriptures are given to us as light in a dark world. They are given to us as a description of God’s way, when our ways of doing things are usually quite different, and obviously not for the better. That difference accounts for all of the unhappiness around us. It accounts for all the wars, …
Absolutely Anything
An assassination has occurred in Arizona. A Democratic congresswoman has been shot, and is still struggling for her life. A federal judge is dead, along with some other people. The perpetrator initially appears to fit the profile of a conspiracy nut — his favorite books include Mein Kampf, The Communist Manifesto, and Siddhartha. I found …
KJV 400

Going About to Establish Ourselves
Father and God, we confess to You now that we have gone about, as the Jews of old, to establish a righteousness of our own. We confess to You that as a nation, we have not wanted to be clothed in the righteousness of another—we have wanted to stand or fall on our own account, …
Like Taking a Jackhammer to a Souffle
So when I speak of secularism cratering, I am referring to official, state-sponsored agnosticism cratering. I am not referring to any coming obliteration of the necessary distinctions between the church and the world, between the Church of Christ and the Kingdom of God. So let us begin there. The Church should think of the entire …
Lasting Leadership
For those men who live in Moscow, or for any who be in our area in mid-February, we would like to mention a men’s conference on leadership that we are hosting. We are particularly interested in reaching young men in their twenties and thirties, so please consider coming. The conference is free, but you still …
