Might as well make it two shameless appeals in a row — that way we get it over quickly, and can get back to the usual programing of all the edifying stuff. And in this shameless appeal, I intend to work two appeals into one, both of them having to do with Federal Vision stuff. …
Christian Street Festival
For those of you who are within driving distance of Moscow, go ahead and mark your calendars for September 9. South Main will be closed off, and a good time will be had by many if not all. Make particular note of the one dollar hamburgers.
Inescapable Fear
INTRODUCTION: This message on Inescapable Fear could just as easily been entitled as Freedom from Fear. And, without any contradiction, it could also be entitled The Christian Grace of Fear. But all this will take some unpacking. THE TEXT: “And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, …
God Disposes
“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).

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).
Apostolic Authority Is Not Part of an Electrical Circuit
“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
Since its release a couple months ago, Leepike Ridge has been doing very well, and it looks like we may have some more exciting news about the book in the future. Been a lot of fun. But the reason for this post is that Nate’s web site is now up, and you can find it …
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 …
