Sugar Levels

Friday, November 18, 2005 By Douglas Wilson

A Place of Dubious Honor

Thursday, November 17, 2005 By Douglas Wilson

"The Bible even goes in for a little bimbo humor. 'As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion' (Prov. 11:22). Here, let us consider the parable. Is feminine beauty worth anything? Absolutely, between three and four hundred dollars an … [Read more...]

Glitterati

Wednesday, November 16, 2005 By Douglas Wilson

The Trees of the Lord

Tuesday, November 15, 2005 By Douglas Wilson

"In other words, the real dilemma should confront those who would undertake a biblical defense of writing like the author of the Elsie Dinsmore stories. While there are things in the Bible that might even resemble Swift's Modest Proposal, there is nothing that remotely resembles … [Read more...]

Have a Witness

Friday, November 11, 2005 By Douglas Wilson

The Hinder Parts of a Bull

Thursday, November 10, 2005 By Douglas Wilson

Why Prophets Die

Monday, November 7, 2005 By Douglas Wilson

"They had two basic problems here. First, they had no sense of proportion. They would pay Judas money to betray the Messiah, but then when Judas returned the money, they had profound scruples about which account they put it in! We just paid this guy to betray Israel's hope and … [Read more...]

Speeding Up in the Wrong Direction

Friday, November 4, 2005 By Douglas Wilson

A Wet Spot on the Pavement

Thursday, November 3, 2005 By Douglas Wilson
