Theology That Bites Back
Introduction: What I would like to do here, Lord willing and the crik don't rise, is cover a few related or soon-to-be-related items. With the Russian aggression against Ukraine, this outbreak ...
“If that growing alternative culture is to be Christian, there must be a dogged commitment to the centrality of true Christian education. Education is one of the central instruments given to us by God for the establishment and perpetuation of a culture. And if we want the culture to be believing, then the education that feeds into it must be believing.”
Gashmu Saith It, p. 63
“America has cancer bad, and what would be our disease-ridden lymph nodes? The answer to that question is pretty plain, or at least for those willing to repent of the ongoing denial and look straight at the MRI. The answer is our godless educational system, K-12, which is then augmented and brought to a corrupt fruition by our Christless system of higher education. So if you want to get more of what you are getting, go ahead and keep on doing what you are doing. But at least have the decency to stop complaining about what the harvesters keep bringing in from the fields. Who planted that crop in the first place?”
Gashmu Saith It, p. 61
“And so here we are, right on schedule. It turns out that, however you might wish otherwise, you eventually wind up wherever it was you were going. If you get on the plane to Chicago, and I would urge you to follow me closely here, you are going to land in Chicago. We are now arriving where a godless education must necessarily go. The public schools in America were not secular, they were godless.”

Dear Dawson, The next thing I would like to cover with you has to do with the broader issue of authority, hierarchy and submission, and how these Christian concepts are in a death match with every form of egalitarianism. There are two things we have to understand about how authority works in all of this. …
“We have it on good authority that we cannot harvest figs from thorn bushes (Lue 6:44) . . . Rendering general by induction, we may infer that it is also not possible to gather pink grapefruit from your juniper bushes, or pine nuts from your tomato plants, or lemons from your box hedge. Pursuing the analogy relentlessly, we may also surmise that you cannot send your child to a culinary school and expect to get back a mechanical engineer . . . We often act astonished when we have no right whatsoever to be surprised in any way. We say, wide-eyed with Aaron, that all we did was put in a bunch of gold, and ‘out came this calf’ (Ex. 32:24) . . . And lest I be accused of being too oblique in the point I am seeking to make, you cannot send all the Christian kids off to be educated in a school system that is riddled with rank unbelief, shot through with relativism, and diseased with perverse sexual fantasies, and then wonder at the results you get.”

Letter to the Editor: TIN SOLDIERS AND TRUDEAU'S COMING " The body they may kill , God's truth abideth still." In a few hours, the Lord willing, we will gather in large numbers to ...
“As we watch this great parade of dunsical folly every night on the news, one thought should come back to haunt us with every fresh insult to right reason. And that thought should be, ‘Who educated these people?’ And the follow-up question should be, ‘And why haven’t they been sacked?’”
Gashmu Saith It, pp. 54-55
Introduction: I don’t care who you are, having an elderly woman trampled by your cops on horseback is a bad look. Another bad look comes when it is not possible to confirm or refute reports of that poor woman’s death. As I was composing this paragraph on Saturday, there were rumors that she had died …
