On Waving His Paddle in the Air
Introduction: One of the problems that decisions like Obergefell will cause in our churches is the dislocation that will occur between individuals who respond to such things differently. Often it is not “the thing itself,” but reactions to the thing itself that divide us. We all disapprove, but we disapprove in different ways. Some of …
Clunkity Clunkity Blam
So let us speak for a moment, you and I, about Christian worldview education. Like anything else that is good, it can be done poorly, and whatever else you say about the strengths of Christian worldview advocates, they have not yet been able to shake the bell curve. Did you ever stop to think about …
On the Propriety of Saying “Expel His Ass”
This last week we spent some delightful time in Pittsburgh, as we attended the 25th annual conference of the ACCS. In the course of my plenary talk there, I said a few things about what our schools are facing now, and are going to be facing in the near future, now that the sexual revolution …
The Apostles Creed 3: Almighty
Introduction: We have confessed our faith in God the Father, and looking ahead we saw that He is the Father of Jesus Christ. We are not confessing faith in some kind of an abstract definition.

Gratitude and Faith: ACCS at 25

George was channeling Thomas Chalmers, naturally, and the point he was passing on to us is applicable everywhere the believer goes. And here …
Simper Reformanda
So I need to say just a couple more things about the Southern Baptist resolution and the alt-right. In the interests of time, I will pay close attention to the interests of time. An intelligent and non-screechy rejoinder to my piece can be found here, and I commend it to you all. The argument is …
A Wrecking Ball of Propriety
So what happens when you take a ruling class as wicked and as corrupt as ours is, and you insist that they obsess over what might be called “appearance ethics”? You get hypocrisy on stilts, that’s what happens. In the post-Watergate era, the nation became consumed with the appearance of impropriety. And while it is …
When Your Kayak Is Small
The situation described in the following letters continues to be entirely fictitious, including persons, names, crimes, sins, relationships, circumstances and all particulars. The kind of situation that is described, however, is all too common and my hope is that biblical principles applied to this fictitious scenario may be of some help to individuals tangled up …
