If you stick around, in just a moment I am going to be dealing with the problem created by registered sex offenders attending church. However, before we get there, I want to say something about the cultural context we find ourselves in. And that said, I want to warn you … [Read more...]
On Spiraling into Chaos
The trial of George Zimmerman is now over, and there are perhaps a few things we can learn from the whole sorry mess. Perhaps. In the aftermath of this trial, we clearly have a highly polarized society. On the one hand, we have those who believe that a young and unarmed black … [Read more...]
I Shot the Sheriff . . .
"Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s" (Dt. 1:17) In an earlier post, on injustice and empathy, a point rose deep in the comments which needs to be bumped … [Read more...]
Injustice and Empathy
Don Carson, Kevin DeYoung, and Justin Taylor have posted a very good statement about the Sovereign Grace lawsuit here. I appreciated it very much. The issue -- among thoughtful Christians -- should never be whether or not justice should be done. That should be a given. What … [Read more...]

No Mas
As some may know, I have had a link to the Little Geneva website under the Moonbats category, and which I had labeled as "Clever Zionist Tricks." I am now removing that link because it appears as though the website has folded. Whatever the reason, I am grateful that the number … [Read more...]

When accusations are brought against anyone, it is crucial for all potential participants, witnesses, or observers to think of the matter biblically. This is because it is perilously easy to fall into that species of do-goodism that wants to uproot the tares, but that kind of … [Read more...]
Appealing to the Cheap Seats
Normally I would file comments on the Steve Wilkins deal under Auburn Avenue Stuff. Why not? It's the name of his church, after all. But there is another aspect of this, and so I want to make just a few comments about this thing under "A Justice Primer." This is not an … [Read more...]
