Conflicted Feminism

Posted on Friday, February 18, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Our feminist culture today hates women, despises them . . . The sexual revolution was a revolution of promiscuous males, for promiscuous males, and by promiscuous males” (Beyond Stateliest Marble, p. 237).

A Different Debate Entirely

Posted on Thursday, February 17, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“The debate between the forces of egalitarianism and those who embrace the biblical order is not a debate between those who want to paint something blue and those who want to paint it red. Rather it is a debate between those who want to let water run downhill and those who want to sweep it …

With the Lab Techs Going Bwa Ha Ha

Posted on Wednesday, February 16, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“We live in a time of great sexual confusion. In our public life, we now have heteroseexuals, homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, and those numbered among the transgendered. No doubt work in a laboratory somewhere is trying to come up with a few new options for us” (Beyond Stateliest Marble, p. 235).

In the Thicket of Bad Poetry, We Need a Machete

Posted on Tuesday, February 15, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“We have to recover the older standards for writing poetry, and if we have the slightest inclination, we should encourage it as much as we can . . . The first stuff we write will probably not be very good, but we should laugh at it and keep going. We are laboring for the kingdom” …

Conservative Capitulation

Posted on Monday, February 14, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“In our modern world, the more conservative in theology a particular church or denomination is, the less likely they are to love poetry. Many conservative believers and defenders of the faith have sought to do their work through doctrinal engineering and theological abstractions. This has resulted in a truncated form of the faith — which …

Pious Worry Sessions

Posted on Friday, February 11, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“We tend to want our hearts and minds to protect the peace of God within us. Paul actually reverses this and says that the peace of God protects our hearts and minds. But this does not happen simply because we present our petitions to God. It is quite possible to be anxious on our knees. …

Teaspoons and Waterfalls

Posted on Thursday, February 10, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“We cannot begin to thank God for all His mercies toward us. We are unaware of the vast majority of them — for instance, your liver at this moment is doing a number of things to keep you alive. Each of us, every day, is standing under a Niagara of blessings, and when we ‘give …

Complex, Not Inscrutable

Posted on Wednesday, February 9, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“God has built predictability into the world — every covenant comes with blessings and curses. We are encouraged to look at how we fare in order to understand whether we are living under the blessing of God. At the same time, our analysis of such things must not be wooden. We must be balanced and …

Not Quite an Optical Illusion

Posted on Tuesday, February 8, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“This is one of the curiosities of sanctification. The more someone progresses in the faith, the more they realize how far they have to go . . . The more we grow in grace, the more we understand how great grace is and how much it covers” (Beyond Stateliest Marble,  p. 199).

Under Tribute

Posted on Monday, February 7, 2011Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“For the gracious heart, the law is no more constraining that wings are to a bird. But for someone who has no experience of grace, these standards bite and pinch, and some accommodation must be made for both morality and sin. Anne [Bradstreet] noted this problem clearly. ‘Some Christians do by their lusts and corruptions …
