There is more here on the confrontation of Brian McLaren by Mark Driscoll. These are not trivial issues, and we should not think that this is just about one article by McLaren that was perhaps thoughtlessly written. All the foundations for this collapse on homosexuality are clear in his books. He who says A will …
Mark Driscoll and Brian McLaren
Mark Driscoll has a great, straightforward question for Brian McLaren, which can be found here. Some Christians were well-versed enough in the postmodernism/emergent stuff that they could see it coming. Others are clear-thinking enough to see it when it finally arrives. But some, tragically, are still in denial.
An Evil Heart of Unbelief
As we consider the remainder of the third chapter of Hebrews, we must remember what we have already learned about the house of Christ. He is the Lord over the same house in which Moses served. We see the importance of understanding this as we consider the duty of repentance under the New Covenant. Therefore, …
Odd Bedfellows
After I posted DeeplyGrieved.com (a few posts down), my wife mentioned to me another important “indicator that something is screwy” that I had missed. Once someone has enlisted in what I call “the fellowship of the grievance” (FOG) all other differences with other members of that fellowship fade into the background. Adversaries become cobelligerents, and …
Listening Up
“At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Ps. 16: 11) Growing Dominion, Part 75 “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise” (Prov. 12:15). The old joke goes that you can always tell a Harvard man, but you can’t tell him much. …
Lonely Artists Congregate
“Likewise in the United States: believe men, you can get all the tubes of Winsor & Newton paint you want in Cincinnati, but the artists keep migrating to New York all the same . . . You can see them six days a week . . . hot off the Carey airport bus, lined up …
Free Market Non-Responses
“We see private schools and homeschools springing up all over, we see programs like Hooked on Phonics, and we see Sylvan Learning Centers. All these are intelligent responses to the disasters caused by the government’s teaching disability. But we will never see a chain of Dyslexia Underwriting and Mentoring Businesses (DUMB). That’s a job for …
Bless Me, What Do They Teach Them In These Schools?
One of the posts yesterday on justice generated a really fruitful discussion, and here is a follow up to some of those issues. When Peter and Susan go to the old professor about Lucy’s weird behavior, he gives them a basic lesson. Edmund was saying sane things, but his character was problematic. Lucy was saying …
Immanuel Kant and Tom Hanks
Brian Mattson has a good post here on Kant and a Tom Hanks movie. What cracks me up is God’s irony in naming — Old Immanuel “God with us” Kant.

In this series, I was planning on addressing a rule of thumb approach for sorting out situations from a distance. You are not the judge, jury, or executioner, but you do read various blogs, and you see scandals and gaffes processed on the evening news, and you read the newspaper. What are you to do …
