That Doesn’t Work

Posted on Friday, August 16, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“‘What bothers me is that I will have to talk to him. Sometimes I think I have forgiven him, and other times the thought of talking to him without fighting just creeps me out. I don’t know how to talk to that man without being angry. I haven’t done it for years.’ John sat there …

Imitating the Inimitable

Posted on Friday, August 16, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“This kind of love is efficacious. Obviously, husbands cannot reenact the substitutionary atonement for the sins of the world . . . But they are commanded to imitate it — and to imitate it with an eye on the results. In this, as with everything else, the results are God’s” (For a Glory and a …

Tumbling Repentance

Posted on Thursday, August 15, 2013Monday, August 19, 2013 by Douglas Wilson - 1 comment

“When the idea of repenting had first begun occurring to her, she had thought it would involve a few outstanding big-ticket items . . . But when it finally happened to her, the whole thing was far more illuminating than she had thought it would be and went all the way back to her girlhood. …

The Basic Gift

Posted on Thursday, August 15, 2013 by Douglas Wilson - 1 comment

“True husbandly love is rendered when a man gives himself to the uttermost, and then as a result of that self-gift, he naturally gives other things (material provision) as well. A man cannot bestow himself and then not bestow provision, protection, and so on, but a man can bestow provision and not bestow himself” (For …

Thruppa-da-da

Posted on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 by Douglas Wilson - 1 comment

“But occasionally a phrase from the prayer book would create a little spiritual thruppa-da-da, much like what happens when you forget to put the lawn mower in the garage for the winter, and try to get it started in the spring. Nothing much there, but occasionally there might be a noise that might indicate that …

No Room for Wish Fulfillment

“We are to live by what God actually said, and not by what we think it would have been good of Him to have said” (For a Glory and a Covering, p. 111).

The Humpfest Masquerade

Posted on Wednesday, August 14, 2013 by Douglas Wilson - 50 comments

Those Christian activists who are laboring — God bless them — for some kind of “equal time for Jesus” arrangement are not on a fool’s errand. It is worse than that. They are in a fool’s war. “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; That put darkness for light, and light for …

Can’t Sell It If You Don’t Know What It Is

Posted on Monday, August 12, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“His agent was working on a project for him, but said that he couldn’t do much until he had a hook or something. ‘You losing your faith? Recovering it? In between? I gotta know who to call, Chad'” (Evangellyfish, p. 216).

In Fact, It Usually Works Worse

Posted on Monday, August 12, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Telepathy in marriage doesn’t work any better than it does anywhere else” (For a Glory and a Covering, p. 111).

Honoring His Stuff

Posted on Monday, August 12, 2013 by Douglas Wilson - 6 comments

A friend pointed me to an important truth about property and giving that is found in Deuteronomy 26. “And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O Lord, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God: And thou …
