Dealing With Brother Zed

Posted on Thursday, May 29, 2014 by Douglas Wilson - 2 comments

“Corrupt fruit means corrupt tree, and good fruit means a good tree. Some false teachers have to be examined closely because they come in sheep’s clothing. But your reading of the story tells you something is ‘off’ — ‘my, what long ears you have . . .’ Now when you have obediently applied this instruction …

Despite Everything

Posted on Wednesday, May 28, 2014 by Douglas Wilson

[John 8:39,41,43-44] “They were blue star covenant members, these men, and all their sacramental papers were in order. The only problem was that despite everything, they still had the wrong father. They were therefore, by definition, unregenerate” (Against the Church, p. 122).

The One Who Relates

Posted on Friday, May 23, 2014 by Douglas Wilson

“There are two errors to avoid here. One is to assume that each individual as such is self-contained and is provided with a hard shell casing . . . The other error is to think that the self is nothing more than a ganglion of relationships, with no ‘hard atoms’ of individuals between whom such …

A Father Transplant

Posted on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 by Douglas Wilson - 6 comments

“Regeneration means becoming the seed of another — ultimately, starting with one family tree and then acquiring a different one. My father used to be Adam and now he is the second Adam. My father used to be the devil and now he is Abraham . . . Rebirth entails having been in existence already, …

Beyond Counting

Posted on Friday, May 16, 2014 by Douglas Wilson - 1 comment

“The majestic extent of definite atonement is seen when John turned and looked [Rev. 7:9]. What did he see? He saw a multitude that no man can number. How many will be saved?

When the Tide of Battle Turned

Posted on Thursday, May 15, 2014 by Douglas Wilson

“This whole world, since the sin of Adam, has been nothing but one vast, pole-to-pole boneyard. Whatever would Jesus do in a world like that? What could He possibly do that could transform a world like that? The gospel reply is that He could come back from the dead in it” (Against the Church, p. …
