I have heard that this post was quoted this morning by @EWErikson on the Rush Limbaugh show, so I bumped it to the top so visitors could find the whole thing more easily. Welcome, all. I once heard a story told of Ravi Zacharias, where he was being driven around a campus where he was …
Christ For Us
“Irenaeus refers to this as recapitulation. British theologian N.T. Wright calls the Lord’s life work in this the reconstitution of Israel. Classic Reformed theology calls it the active obedience of Christ. What it means, simply, is Christ for us. In your salvation, you were not given a fraction of Christ, but rather were given all …
Showing the Way
“He stooped — the ultimate Word became a single cell, and then a cluster of cells, and then visibly a baby, although still less than a pound, and then a child who kicked his mother from inside, delighting her immeasurably. He became a little child, and then, years later, He told us to copy Him …
A Warehouse Full of Guile
The contradictions of the secularist mindset have been exposed numerous times, but it is a rare opportunity when this happens while millions of people staring at it. Put another way, the rhetoric of tolerance and mutual respect as preached by these intoleristas is a sham, a farce, a lie, a trick, a subterfuge, a whopper …
The Great Stooping
“He, the eternal Word, the one who spoke the galaxies into existence, was willing to become a little baby boy who could do nothing but jabber, and in that jabbering, make glad his mother and earthly father. He, the source of all life and all nourishment for that life, was willing to be breastfed. He, …
L’affaire Robertson
Unaccustomed as I am to writing about current events as they unfold, I can only suggest a few takeaway lessons from the l’affaire Robertson, as he might put it. As I have been able to reconstruct the events, A&E put Phil Robertson on hiatus from the reality show Duck Dynasty for making disparaging comments about …
Attention Shoppers
For those in the Moscow area, the college bookstore at New St. Andrews is throwing a big sale this coming Saturday from 10 to 2, with clearance books and clothes and some great discounts. This includes 50% off clearance clothes, 25% off NSA gear, and buy-one-get-one-50%-off clearance books.
Largeness of Heart
When God blesses Solomon, He does it by granting wisdom and understanding, but another thing is mentioned as well. “And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore” (1 Kings 4:29). This was connected to God blessing Solomon for rule. He …
Which Cannot Be Done
“Man in his sinful condition does not want to be saved. That is part of what it means to be a sinner. This means that man wants, by various strategies, to put himself out of God’s reach” (God Rest Ye Merry, p. 45).
A Huge White Snarl Flapping Behind You
This is not so much another “I told you so” but rather another “I tried to tell you so.” The other day I related how, in my debate with Andrew Sullivan, I tried to show that after same-sex mirage had a foothold in our society, the next folks in line, using all the same arguments, …
