I read on Reformed News that Sam Duncan, former moderator of the PCA, has provided a summary of the FV in preparation for the big doings at the General Assembly of the PCA this week. But before I start in on my war dance, let me just say that you ought to check out Reformed …
Symbiotic Sin
“All of man’s history is not limited to the history of the city and its progress. But they have nevertheless intermingled, and neither can be understood alone” (Jacques Ellul, The Meaning of the City, p. 8).
Not Any More
“Objectivity was bunk and so truth went out the window—and with it went the ability to weed out lies. The education system had been turned from the repository of disinterested knowledge to a vehicle for ‘antiracist’ and other propaganda. Instead of being taught how to think, children were now told what to think. The result …
Mine, All Mine
“Of course the very fact that nowadays we look upon convictions as personal possessions is a symptom of the disappearance of the Christian mind” (Harry Blamires, The Christian Mind, p. 40).
Father Abraham Had Many Sons
“‘Wherefore we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire’ (Heb. 12:28-29). Let those words, reverence and godly fear, roll around in the mind and heart while you sing through some inane song, …

We are now facing the temptations and obstacles that churches our size and our age have always faced. When we were young and small, and no one had …
Kings and Priests, Not Martinets
We have been considering this Table as a place where we, the people of God, give counsel to our Lord. In one sense, this may sound exciting, but taken another way, it should be troubling.We must never forget the Creator/creature distinction. And this means that we must never pretend that we have knowledge, or wisdom, …
A Double Order of Golden Brown Buttermilks
A reply to some of the (very deserved) criticisms of the PCA study committee on the Federal Vision can be found here. The PCA will be addressing this issue at their GA in the coming days, and so I would urge everyone to pray that God would protect that denomination from an act of theological …
Joel and Christine
As we should all know, we are now, right his minute, in the middle of a ritual. In one sense, everyone here knows and understands what it all means, and that’s why we came, but in another important sense, no one here understands the full ramifications of this. Rituals are amazing in their depth, and …
