The Word of God tells us to put to death our members which are on the earth, and this exhortation is followed by a list of that unhappy crew (Col. 3:4-6). Uncleanness, lust, fornication . . . all must die. The apostle Paul gives this assignment to Christians, to saints and faithful brethren (Col. 1:2). …
A Palin Critique
Given the trajectory of events, it looks to me as though Sarah Palin is going to be a significant player in the coming year, leading up to the 2012 presidential elections. I am not saying she is going to run, and I am not saying that she would get the nomination/presidency if she did run …
Doll Babe
“It is quite false that Puritan women were porcelain doll figures. They were women, created in the image of God, designed by Him to complement the men. But if we flip this around, we do find that young girls today are encouraged to become Barbie dolls. And so they do, growing up to acquire their …

The danger of a book title like this is that a girl picking …
Parish Life
INTRODUCTION:Over the years, we have seen many believers move here to the Palouse, and we have been greatly blessed by this. The reasons have obviously varied, but in countless conversations I have been a part of, the word that comes up over and over and over again is the word community. There is a reason …
And Sometimes Hidden Under a Head Covering
I followed a link from Tim Bayly over to Pyrotown, and found a fantastic article there. Check it out here. Among conservative women there is sometimes a temptation to strike “I wish-he-would-lead” poses, which is quite a different thing than helping him lead.
Yet Another Den of Thieves
In the debate about the repeal of Obamacare, there are people who understand the principles involved, and there are the wafters.

Not having said anything about the monkeyshines of the erstwhile CO, Captain Honors, of the U.S.S. Enterprise, allow me to do so now. Since the videos that cost him his command were a few years old, the first thing that occurs to me is that he was probably done in by some competitor. We can …
