Bricks Made Out of Fog

Posted on Monday, July 25, 2016Monday, July 25, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 232 comments

Introduction: I would like to try to make a very simple point, but one which could be misconstrued in a thousand different ways. I would ask my friends not to do so, my enemies not to do so too violently, and for the vast horde wavering between friendship and hostility to read the whole thing …

Faithful Desolation: Eighth Decade of Psalms/Psalm 77

Posted on Saturday, July 23, 2016 by Douglas Wilson

Introduction: We have been considering psalms of deliverance, and this psalm is no different in that respect. But one notable distinction here is that the deliverance seemed late in coming, and the psalmist struggled mightily with that providence. In his struggle, he teaches us how to struggle when we are confronted with anything similar. And …

Who Swears To His Own Hurt

Posted on Friday, July 22, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 71 comments

So I wrote that I was grateful for the fact that Cruz did not endorse Donald Trump. I still am grateful. But I also have noticed, online and in personal conversations, that a number of people (who are not Trump fans) are arguing that Cruz should be rejected for good over this because he was …

Thankful

Posted on Thursday, July 21, 2016 by Douglas Wilson - 207 comments

So Ted Cruz refrained from endorsing Donald Trump last night, and so my respect for him remains high. I appreciate it deeply. If he had endorsed Trump, then my support for Cruz would have gone the way of the woolly mammoth. The pressure on Cruz to cave must have been enormous, as can be ascertained …
