I finished listening to Dr. Clark’s lecture on the active obedience of Christ. Jeepers. I never knew I believed and taught such things as alleged, and we here at Christ Church have launched a full scale investigation to determine why it was that I was never informed.
Secular Fundamentalists
Dear visionaries, Before I left town, someone here hoped that the travel experience would broaden my horizons, and make me realize what beautiful and aesthetically satisfying civilization we have going here as a result of the whole Enlightenment project, which, in the minds of some, still does not exist. But I went to various places …
Owning the Curse
Owning the curse is not applauding the curse. Insisting that we deal with the manifold problems within the church first is not the same thing as saying we are abandoning the civil realm to the secularists. Insisting that the ship be made seaworthy is not to abandon the voyage. To illustrate what we are talking …
Yelling At My Windshield, Part Seven
Dr. Clark makes the statement that we bad guys are teaching somewhere that Christ lived, not a life of perfect condign merit, but rather a life of okay congruent merit. Where we affirmed this, I am sure I don’t know. Maybe one of us is writing for WTJ under a pen name. And maybe he is …
Yelling At My Windshield, Part Six
I am mostly through Dr. Clark’s talk on the active obedience of Christ. In one part of his lecture, he gives a great long list of theologians who affirm and believe in the active obedience of Christ. Missing from this section of his lecture was a sentence like the following: “Douglas Wilson, well known advocate of …
The Politics of Sodomy: Has It Come to That?
INTRODUCTION Often we confront problems in our individual lives, or in our families, and after we have exhausted all the possibilities in our hunt for a solution, we ask others to pray for us. “Oh,” some might be tempted to think. “Has it come to that?” We must learn to begin where we are sometimes …
St. Anne’s Public House
I have long enjoyed listening to Ken Myer’s work with his Mars Hill Audio Journal. Let me plug it again here, and all you have to do is click on this magic button. But not many of you know that out there in the world of audio journals Mars Hill has a merry little sister …
The Bell in the Tower
Once a young boy lived in a small village on the edge of a great empire. The empire was Christendom, the province Reformatia, and the village had the odd name of Splinter. The elders of the village were solemn and august men, and usually sat on a long wooden bench in the village square, near …
Yelling At My Windshield, Part Five
Just finished listening to Michael Horton’s contribution to the Westminster conference. He made lots of fine points, and is clearly well-read in all the literature that surrounds this particular embarrassment to Christian discourse. Nevertheless, some fundamental misapplications are still there, and the stumbling block is that pesky word merit. I am reminded of that section …
Some Basic Math
Dear visionaries, I am sorry to leave our discussion just when it gets to “the feast of reason and flow of soul” stage. But I will be out of town this next week. Have fun with this. Robert says: “What she advocates is that laws are created preventing someone from being fired . . .” …
