Dear Kirkers and Friends, As many of you know, the elders of Christ Church decided a few months ago to engage the services of Clare Locke, a firm specializing in defamation cases. This is because the slanderous accusations being made against us were starting to spiral out of control, and we felt like we had …

Way More Plastic
“True Kuyperian practice is not to go out into the world and do pretty much what everybody else is doing, only with a Jesus label attached. This is not the lordship of Christ—rather it is Christians getting into the manufacture of knock-offs. If something gets popular in the world, the Christians are right there with a competing model made with cheap labor in a Third World factory and using a lot more plastic.”

Apostate or Corrupt?
“Churches that have had their lampstand removed are apostate. Churches that are being seriously warned about that possibility are corrupt. Branches that have been cut out of the olive tree are apostate. Branches that are still on the tree but have started to think that they support the root are corrupt. The short answer is that apostasy does not occur with no warning at all—the run up to that apostasy is the period of corruption. God dealt with the Israelites even though they worshipped him in the high places. They were corrupt, but not yet rejected. The prophets were ticked about it, as they should have been, but God nevertheless still owned them as His people. That was corruption, not apostasy. The severance of Israel from the olive tree after 70 AD was apostasy, the culmination of corruption.

The Sinful Mind at Bay
A bunch of tightly woven thoughts with no connecting phrases in between them. Sometimes no verb either. Cornelius Van Til used to write about “integration downward into the Void.” Spiritually insightful people knew what he was talking about, but now, with the events of the last five years, all of us should know what he …
