Gracious God above us, we thank You in the name of Jesus Christ, and we pray to You in the authority that the Holy Spirit gives to us. We look forward to the arrival of yet another Lord’s Day, another opportunity to rejoice before You together with our people. We thank You for the food, …
La Bella Vita
Well. This has been quite a week for shameless appeals. But I don’t mind. They’re shameless. Off to the left (under Family and Friends) you can find Live Lovely, which is my youngest daughter’s work. Luke and Rachel Jankovic own and operate La Bella Vita, a shop to help equip us all for sabbath living.
Logos Curriculum
The Logos School board meets monthly on housekeeping issues, but in addition to this we have an annual board meeting that focuses on long-term vision. The board members also have a day every spring where we visit the classrooms and observe the instruction that is actually occurring on the ground. Speaking as an (admittedly biased) …
A Really Troublesome Cartoon
Here’s a good one. HT: David Field
Credenda is no Deadenda
February 2006 Dear Friends of Credenda, We really are grateful for the financial support that you offer to our magazine. We are now entering our eighteenth year of publication, which helps to explain quite a number of things. This accounts for the adolescent sense of humor, as well as the fact that we don’t appear …
Kant Saves the Day
In his next chapter (4), Grenz does a good job summarizing the views of the modernists, against whose goads the postmodernists have been kicking. He says, “if we are to understand the postmodern agenda, we must look at the rise of the modern mentality to which contemporary thinkers are so vehemently responding” (p. 57). We …
More on Driscoll and McLaren
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 …
What Universe?
As I continue my kibbitzing about postmodernism, using Stanley Grenz’s primer on the subject for my launching points, I want to reiterate that I am not yet directly critiquing Grenz. There are some indirect critiques of how he represents the pomos, but we won’t see until later in the book how much distance he (successfully …
Performative Contradictions
In the whole kerfluffle between modernism and postmodernism, we should take our lead from Paul at Athens. He did not go there in order to determine whether he was closer to the Epicureans or to the Stoics. They had many differences, but at bottom they were both pagan systems of thought with a deep foundational …
You Can Climb Out of a Hole, But You Can’t Dig Out
We live in a day when few people, including many Christians, understand what justice really is. In this series, we are not talking about a conversation between friends, or between a husband and wife. If a wife were to ask her husband if he would mind not interrupting when their youngest daughter is trying to …
