A year or two ago, I bowed out as a participant in the Vision 20/20 discussion group. I had come to the conclusion that pursuing a discussion with the people who were diligently trying (successfully) to turn it into Venom 20/20 was like arguing with the troubled guy trying to squeegee your windshield at a …
The Thick Plottens
The campaign of “diversity cleansing” continues. The two women who filed tax exemption complaints last year against Christ Church and New St. Andrews College have now followed up with similar tax complaints against Logos School and the ministry of Community Christian Ministries (CCM) at the Nuart theater. The complaints now go before the county commissioners …
June Bugs Into Sea Lions
Dear visionaries, It really is good to hear from Susannah from time to time, because it inspires me to write. But she might want to remember the comment of P. G. Wodehouse concerning folks like me. Some minds are like the soup in a poor restaurant — better left unstirred. She says, for example, that …
A Christian View of War
The decision to have a war is a corporate decision; the decision to go to war an individual one. And once a man decides to go to war, of course his individual behavior in combat has corporate ramifications. When the church was in her infancy, the question of war was a simple one. “Blessed be …
Cruel, Not Cowardly
Visionaries, I am sure that part of this is an ethos problem. If I said it, it must be outlandish and subversive of the republic. But nobody in this quarter said anything about medals for bravery or heroism. I believe that men such as this are wicked, and those who do not die in their …
Still Not Cowardly
Visionaries, Jon said, “Attacking the defenseless is, without any doubt, absolute cowardice.” The problem here is that those doing this are kamikaze types. They are not just killing the defenseless, they are surrendering their own lives in order to be able to do so. I call it wicked, and cruel, and lots of others things. …
Cowardly Acts?
Visionaries, Would someone please tell the State Department to stop denouncing homicide/suicide bombers as cowardly? They are lots of wicked things, but being cowards is not one of them. Cordially, Douglas “Apologetics in the Void” are repostings from an on-going electronic discussion and debate I had some time ago with members of our local …
Bookrack Notice
Halfway down the bookrack on the right side here, please note the release of Omnibus I from Veritas Press. We learned a lot in the production of this great textbook for 7th graders, and Lord willing, and the creeks don’t rise, Omnibus II will be ready for 8th graders by this coming fall.
Relativism Embraces the Stars and Bars
Dear visionaries, Afternoon, kids! No need to worry — I’ll keep it brief. Kudos to Robert for doing a decent job of reading/hearing what we have actually been saying. Non-kudos to Susan for linking me to a web site I had never heard of, and for a tightly-reasoned argument that did everything but what it …
No Buttercup
You are the people of God, and as Christians you bear the name of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord God is jealous for His name, and so we know from His Word that He will deliver His people from the troubles that confront them. He does not always deliver us on the …
