I have argued many times and in many ways that Christian postmoderns are posers. They are parasitic moderns, wanting the academic system to remain intact (so that their tenure will remain secure), wanting a John Stuart Mill secular state to remain intact (so that nobody has to confess Jesus in the public square), and so …
A Paschal Blessing
As many who read this blog know, it has a been a season of controversy. But fortunately, it is also the Paschal season. The Lord is risen; He is risen indeed. We have been brought up from the dead, and our present possession is life, just as our final destination is life. Newness of life …
Just South of Wichita
I am afraid I have some more bad news for the defenders of the faith over at Heidelhoneyhut. The rot of heresy is spreading. The FV leprosy was not addressed promptly enough, and has begun to spread retroactively through the body of all church history. And you know it is a really bad factory that …
Many Infallible Proofs
INTRODUCTION:The last description of Christ’s resurrection appearances is found in the very first part of Acts. As we celebrate His resurrection, we want to take care that we learn everything that the Scriptures teach us about it. THE TEXT:“The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and …
Inexorable Life
The crucifixion was not a bad dream. It really happened. Jesus Christ really was flogged, His beard pulled out, nails driven into His hands and feet, and a spear thrust into His side. It was not something that His disciples thought had happened, only to discover their error and that Jesus was still alive. No, …

We gather to feed on the body of Christ, and to drink His blood, but do not make the mistake of thinking that it is some ritual form of macabre cannibalism. The Lord is risen, and we are partaking of His resurrection life. This is no corpse ritual. We are privileged to partake of the …
That We Might Wake the Others
Our Father and God, You have established Your Church as a royal priesthood in this world, and so we intercede for the nations of men now, confessing on their behalf so that the grace of Your forgiveness will soon be extended to them all.
Political Reform Closer to Home
My standing joke is that we ought not to allow chaplains to pray in Congress, because the Bible says that we are not supposed to turn a den of thieves into a house of prayer. And make no mistake — Congress is a den of thieves. Now Scripture gives the civil government the authority to …
In Which Scott Clark Loses His Golf Ball
The use of the law assumes a context, and that context has to include people. The three uses of the law are not possible if the Bible remains closed. If the text says, “thou shalt not steal,” but the text has never been read by any man, then none of the three uses of the …
Today Show, NatGeo, and Netflix
Busy, busy. And Collision is now availabwoool, as they say, on Netflix. This film is not rated, but no animals were harmed in the making of it. Except for our dinners.
