Introduction: For those late to the party, I wrote last week (9/18/19) about the slaves of Jonathan Edwards. This excited comment, and so I followed it up with a piece on white supremacy (9/23/19). ...
The Leftward Drift of The Gospel Coalition
Introduction: So the thing that got me going this time was an unfortunate article by Joe Carter, which you may read here. Joe has said, written, and done many fine things in the course of his life and ministry, and this article ought not to be included among them. If the Carters ever move, they …
You Write the Letters and Then I Post Them
The Microsoft Thou Gavest Me: I believe that some afghans would make a room more comfortable, but for most people, Afghans, unless carefully chosen, would not. Jane Jane, I need to tell you I did it right the first time, but Microsoft gave me a red, squiggly line, and there were no other alternatives offered …
The Mailbag Was Full of Letters
An Important Note: My ministry colleagues here at Grace Church and Grace to You at last have an official and absolutely complete version of the ShepCon Panel Q&A Of Note posted. Perhaps you’d be willing to amend your articleto reflect this? Grace and peace to you, brother. Bill Bill, thanks. And we will post this …
Reimagining Revoice as a Servant of Mammon
Introduction: You know what? Revoice is a micro-aggression. It is all starting to come into focus for me now. Now it is kind of a big conference, with big names attached, and so that makes it a macroaggression also. And big money is likely involved, about which more a bit later on, and so that …
Woke with the Wim-Wams
Apparently being woke is a thing now. I heard yesterday that there were even some woke Calvinists out there, and the seventh angel sounded his trumpet. After that some plaster fell off the ceiling. Let us define our terms. Being woke means that you have grokked to your complicity. Let me start over. Being woke …
Letters and Letters Galore and More
Theocracy n’Stuff: Well put, Pastor Doug, especially your conclusion: “God is being kind to us, and He is doing it in such a way as to preclude boasting on our part.” The word picture you created in your prior post along these same lines about no conservative Christian wanting to be photographed with Pres Trump …
Year of the Pig
So we are spang in the midst of what is being called a “sexual harassment apocalypse.” But this is only being experienced as an apocalypse by a certain class of individual—that class being what we might call the poseur-feminist. This is one who cops the attitude of quisling males who somehow decided that, provided their …
Alt-Righty Then
After some commotion and a bit of to-and-froing, the Southern Baptist Convention recently denounced alt-right white supremacy, and did so overwhelmingly. As far as that goes, considered within a narrow compass, no problems. When alt-right racists get poked with any kind of stick, it is difficult for me to summon up any kind of sorrow. …
Cracking Down on Crackers
Over the years, as I have written on culture and race, I have had to write on two fronts. In order to engage with the MSNBC-approved narrative, I need to engage with the Black Lives Matter kind of evil, which is all the thing these days. It is evil and popular with the cool kids. …
