And Repeated Tries Don’t Help

Posted on Thursday, December 6, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Many marriages are in bad shape because people assume that good marriages can somehow be separated from a basic godly demeanor throughout the course of our lives. As long as husbands and wives commit this particular error, the words of life with regard to marriage will just bounce off them — like a ping-pong ball …

Divinity from the Delta

Posted on Wednesday, December 5, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“When asked what his degrees were in, he would say that his undergrad was in philosophy, and he had an MDiv from Westminster, but that everything he did was ‘deeply rooted in the blues.’ Some people didn’t get that either” (Evangellyfish, p. 9).

A Pietism Hell

Posted on Wednesday, December 5, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“The hardness such pietism causes in marriage requires a jackhammer, not a feather duster. The only high standards that are at all spiritually safe are standards that are born from gratitude, thanksgiving, and gladness and simplicity of heart (Acts 2:46). Grace is foundational, and so the higher you want the structure to go, the more …

Posted on Monday, December 3, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

But How Does the Letter Kill?

Posted on Friday, November 30, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Now what does he mean when he says the ‘letter kills’? Paul is clearly not arguing against ever writing things down, for his argument that the letter kills and the Spirit gives life is an argument that he himself wrote down. The issue is therefore not ‘the letters’ in themselves. The issue is not paper …

Utterly Inconsistent

Posted on Thursday, November 29, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Marriage is a glorious thing, and this truth has ramifications. There were two aspects of the Israelite camp in the wilderness that ought never go together: the Shekinah glory in the sky and the grumbling on the ground. Far too many Christian marriages are like this. Husbands and wives complain and moan in the midst …

Missing Gratitude

Posted on Thursday, November 29, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Arthur Herman argued that the Scots actually invented the modern world. In a sense, the Westminster Assembly invented the Scots who did this remarkable thing. A theological assembly in London wrote a spiritual constitution for the people who were like the kitchen workers at a huge banquet — behind the scenes, making everything possible” (5 …
