“We are endowed with our rights by a Creator. If no Creator, then no rights. Put another way, Darwin hates you.”
Despite Our Devout Wishes
“In the classical liberal order, there was an arbitrary desire to hang the rights of man on a great big invisible sky hook. But whenever you bolt this sky hook into the azure blue, it does not much matter how many extra Kantian bolts you use—the thing will simply not stay up there.”
Put On Your Red Dress, Baby
This last Lord’s Day, I had the very great privilege of preaching at our Christ Church DC church plant. The folks there are wonderful, hard working, and highly organized.

The entire human race is nothing more than the foam on the surface of an infinite ocean of chaos.”

“An essential part of natural revelation or natural law is found within us. God does not just place His letters out there in the natural world, He also places His literacy in our hearts. His letters are out there, His literacy is in here.”
