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 …
More On IVP
Since I posted something on the Judy Brown problem earlier today, I thought I should follow up by posting the following statement released by IVP just a short time ago. Here it is: InterVarsity Press April 8, 2005 InterVarsity Press learned on April 7, 2005, that Dr. Judy L. Brown, the contributor of an article …
IVP. Again.
We should want to categorize something like this in the category of beyond unspeakable. Judy L. Brown, an evangelical egalitarian, contributed to an IVP book called Discovering Biblical Equality: Complementarity Without Hierarchy. Nothing out of the ordinary so far — just the normal IVP monkeyshines. She was the pastor of a Salem Covenant Worship Center, …
Simplistic Categories
Dear visionaries, A brief response to Larry. The reason Tom’s newspaper response did not interact with the controversy and criticism is that from the outbreak of this controversy in the paper, the facts have been consistently misrepresented. Our private school found itself in an editorial inkbath created by journalistic ineptitude, and in contrast to this, …
A Political Agenda?
Dear visionaries, There are two ways to find out our “agenda” for the future of the fair town of Moscow. One of them would be to go back into the 20/20 archives and reread all our previous discussions on this subject. We haven’t changed our minds since then. Another cool way to find out would …

But there are other factors affecting what she lists, things like suspect statistics, Hinduism, famine, wars, etc. But when it comes to those things that really are done …
Comparisons
Dear visionaries, This all-male school board thingy is turning into the Energizer Bunny of topics. Oh, well. William asked why, given my theology, I would seek a woman’s input or opinion on this or any other matter. Given the rhetorical distance between our camps, this kind of assumption is certainly a natural one, but I …
Repetitive Food
We come to this Table every week. For some Christians, this repetition means that we will necessarily drift into religious complacency or sloth. This does happen, and so the Word must always accompany the sacrament, to keep us mindful of our responsibilities here. But one of those responsibilities is to be repetitive. The liturgy of …
Morning Star Ventures
A friend of mine has a venture out of Alaska (through the magic of the web) that is worth checking out. You can find it here.
Big News
Now that the papers are all signed, and my attorney says that there is nothing that can be done about it, I suppose this would be a good time to announce that through the generous help of a third party my wife and I have bought the Moscow Food Coop. For me to have been …
