I mentioned earlier that I needed to respond more fully to Preston Sprinkle’s comment at Q Denver that the commentaries were “against me” in my understanding of Luke 22:35-38. After he made that comment, the commentaries I looked at were all over the road, but my part of the road was certainly included. Allow me …
Q Denver
A number of months ago I received a very gracious invitation to speak at the Q conference, this year to be held in Denver. I wrote back, saying that I was interested, but mentioned that they might want to google my name or something — for not everyone in their circles thinks I am wonderful. …
Laughter Duty
I threw the following tweet into the digital abyss the other day, and watched it flutter downward, ever downward, reminding me of one of those maple tree whirligig things. Anyhow, this is what I said. Those who cannot respond to examples of cultural madness with laughter are in the process of going mad themselves. And …
Review: The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths You’ve Always Believed About Thomas Jefferson
The Jefferson Lies: Exposing the Myths You’ve Always Believed About Thomas Jefferson by David Barton My rating: 4 of 5 stars I decided I should read this because of my endorsement of Ted Cruz, and the association that Cruz has with Barton. I am going to be reading Throckmorton next, along with some of Barton’s …
But When Ahab Went Green, Israel Turned Brown
Today is Earth Day, and since I haven’t written about this foolishness for a while, let me do so now. You have been trained to think — although conditioned to think would be a more accurate way to say it — that the debate over environmentalism is a debate between those who want to take …
Liberté, égalité . . . Is It Still Legal to Say the Third One?
So ESPN sacked Curt Schilling because he shared a meme on Facebook that ran contrary to the current égalipée movement. I may not agree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right . . . actually, we don’t say that much anymore, do we? But I need to go on record …
The Pride of Life in a Codpiece
As the bathroom wars continue to unfold, and as the advocates of totalitolerance continue to embrace the arts of coercion, as they continue to bombard us with ideas so fine they have to be mandatory, it has been natural for Christians to try to pivot. Perhaps we shouldn’t be opposing same sex mirage. Perhaps we …
Review: Rudyard Kipling Eman Poet Lib #45
Rudyard Kipling Eman Poet Lib #45 by Rudyard Kipling My rating: 4 of 5 stars Enjoyed this. Some of his stuff is strikingly good. At the same time, I do have trouble deciphering his use of dialects. View all my reviews
Parade Ground Generals
“What we need are some Levites with the sword of the Spirit to ascend into their pulpits and fix it. But that might require some courage, and so as a proposed alternative we have built a conference circuit, and a series of networks and coalitions, and let’s not forget the blogs, where we have all …
What Polygamy Can Teach Us About Marriage
I am not being bad, I promise. I am being serious. In fact, I want to lay some serious groundwork first, to prove that I am being serious. I am being serious, guys. My topic here has to do with the potential lawfulness of remarriage after divorce, and secondarily, if a remarriage after divorce happens …
