Of course the homo-jihadis believe in reparative therapy. They have been doing it to America for years, and it works very well. America used to be straight, and now it is . . . very bent. In a recent display of their reparative therapy techniques, protesters have shown up to a conference on counseling held …
Just Between Us Girls
Introduction Comes now Rachel Miller, she of the quantitative analysis fame, and attempts a drive-by post at The Aquila Report. She wants to know what people like about me. This is, it must be admitted, a difficult question to answer, and so we must give it our full attention. Let us put our thinking caps …
An Olive Branch for Rod Dreher
Scripture has something to say about the unnecessary perpetuation of strife. “Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: So where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth” (Prov. 26:20). So there are two ways to deal with falsehoods that are burning off hundreds of acres. The text says you have to deal with …

From Where You Are
One of the things I learned about the profound nature of the redemptive work of the gospel was something I learned from my father. And he taught me this when he once said, “God takes you from where you are, not from where you should have been.” I was grateful for the opportunity to respond …
Book of the Month/October 2015
I had the privilege a few weeks ago of speaking together with Anthony Esolen at the Illinois Family Institute. His talk was fantastic — he has the kind of subtlety that is vigorous, lively, understandable, and brave. He is not like that scribesnpharisees seminar prof doing nuance to beat the band, watching his own hand …
