The sin of immodesty is not a light matter. Nor is it a problem that can be isolated to this or that individual. We are God’s covenant people, and we worship Him together. We live together. Modesty in Christian women is therefore a very obvious indicator of whether or not a Christian people understand who …
Lots of Death Spirals
Mark Driscoll has some good things to say here about the Episcopalian death spiral. HT: Justin Taylor Speaking of death spirals, seven Canadian women have decided to take the innovative thinking about marriage (that is all the rage these days) to the next so-called level. They have decided to marry themselves, which should at least …
Seth and Naphtali
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, welcome. In the kind name of the Lord Jesus Christ, welcome. In the communion of all the saints who love the Lord Jesus, welcome. This is a great mystery, the apostle Paul tells us. The ultimate bridegroom is the Lord Jesus, and the bride is …
False, False, and False
For those who for some reason want to follow the saga of the most recent secularist and hypocritical (but I repeat myself) attack on Christ Church, you can see a particularly ripe sample here. This kind of thing is of course crazy. So why respond to it then? Why give the time of day to …

Fatherless Treachery
A friend sent me a copy of Doug Phillips’ post on honor, which was simply outstanding, and which included a paragraph that was pure gold. Here it is: “In examining Hebrews 12:5-13, I shared my own view that fatherless cultures produce men who do not understand honor, and therefore relate dishonorably to fathers, employers, pastors, …
A Witty Comeback
After I linked to “why women live longer,” someone helpful sent this picture-spread riposte on women drivers. But all I can see are the cars. Don’t see any drivers at all.
Lust
We do not live in a time of public silence on lust. There has been no moratorium on the noise about it, the perpetual chatter that surrounds us on every side. Enticements to lust, discussions of lust, enducements to lust, are constant. Standing against this is the clear word of Scripture: “Mortify therefore your members …

Card Tricks At Presbytery
As the Dah Vinchee imbroglio heats up, we see here the “answer a fool according to his folly” response. Turns out Barney Fife of Mayberry had a son . . . HT: Dale Courtney A young man in our congregation here at Christ Church invented his own amazing card trick, and it can see seen …
