A joke is told about a drunk who was crawling around under a street lamp on his hands and knees. He had been there for some time, and another guy came along and said, “What are you looking for?” The answer was that he was looking for his lost car keys, and so the new …
Health Care Freak Show
Now that the PelosiCare Fiasco has passed the House (in the middle of night, sight unseen, nothing to see here, folks, just keep moving), all eyes turn to the Senate. As Americans who know how to count continue to watch our solons of subtraction with fascinated horror, let me just throw up a small post …
Great is Diana of Grand Rapids!
The board of Calvin College has instructed the faculty there that they are required to refrain from promoting sodomy. The first thing to note is that I was astonished that somebody associated with Calvin actually took a stand on something like this. But there you go. Let’s pray the board holds out. The second thing …
And Medals Struck
A quick election take, if I may. First, the best news of the evening was that the voters of Maine rejected homosexual marriage. This brings the total to 31 states that have done so, albeit with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Whenever homosexual marriage is put up for a popular vote, down it goes, no exceptions …
Good News, Really
The new article on the front page of the new Credenda site is simply first rate. Entitled “How to Witness to Mormons,” it contains a great deal of gospel wisdom beyond the narrow focus of the title. Let me commend this one to you as a keeper.
The Spiritual Drive Train
This might be the medieval equivalent of an urban legend, I don’t know. I read it somewhere, but can’t recall the source, but here goes anyhow.

Whacking Us Good
I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that the House of Representatives now has before it that Humongoid Health Bill, and there is a prospect of that thing actually passing, and so the time has come for us to consider the possibility that God is trying to whack us …
Getting Hateblotched
Now that I have been hateblotched (and not for the first time), Gary DeMar sent a note of congrats and encouragement. He too has been hateblotched in the past, and he too had something to say about it. Those who would like to know what the SPLC game plan is, here are a few articles …
Tarbaby Twice
The Southern Poverty Law Center, the world’s richest civil rights organization, has devoted a recent Hatewatch article to humble moi. The logo for Hatewatch is, appropriately, what looks like an eyeball peeping through somebody’s keyhole. It is probably the keyhole to your bedroom, and they are just making sure the government stays out of it. …
Swimming to Hawaii
The current health care debate fiasco illustrates why nothing whatever can be done about America’s death spiral apart from a profound reformation of doctrine, life and morals. And that will not happen unless a whole lot of preachers are moved by the Holy Spirit to start preaching differently than they currently do. I have said …
