So let me say at the front end that Jonah Goldberg is my favorite contemporary political writer. He is vivid, funny, and almost always on point. He is part of the conservative firmament, and yet does not display some of the irritating characteristics on regular display from the kept conservatives, from the kennel-fed conservatives, from …
Sexual Abuse for a Modest Fee

On Waving His Paddle in the Air
Introduction: One of the problems that decisions like Obergefell will cause in our churches is the dislocation that will occur between individuals who respond to such things differently. Often it is not “the thing itself,” but reactions to the thing itself that divide us. We all disapprove, but we disapprove in different ways. Some of …
Clunkity Clunkity Blam
So let us speak for a moment, you and I, about Christian worldview education. Like anything else that is good, it can be done poorly, and whatever else you say about the strengths of Christian worldview advocates, they have not yet been able to shake the bell curve.

On the Propriety of Saying “Expel His Ass”

Here are my notes for my plenary address at the ACCS Repairing the Ruins Conference. It is in part a retrospective, in that this year marks our 25th conference. Introduction: As one who was there at the beginning of ACCS, I want to spend some time thanking the Lord for His great kindness to our …
The Circumference of Darkness
I am currently at the ACCS conference, and wanted to share a takeaway point from George Grant’s talk, one that made the entire trip worth it. Everything else is just added value. George was channeling Thomas Chalmers, naturally, and the point he was passing on to us is applicable everywhere the believer goes. And here …
Simper Reformanda
So I need to say just a couple more things about the Southern Baptist resolution and the alt-right. In the interests of time, I will pay close attention to the interests of time. An intelligent and non-screechy rejoinder to my piece can be found here, and I commend it to you all. The argument is …
A Wrecking Ball of Propriety
So what happens when you take a ruling class as wicked and as corrupt as ours is, and you insist that they obsess over what might be called “appearance ethics”? You get hypocrisy on stilts, that’s what happens. In the post-Watergate era, the nation became consumed with the appearance of impropriety. And while it is …
