Okay. I guess I need to say something. For those readers from out of town we have a small local dust-up going, having to do with some irrelevant bigotries from the ebbing world of print journalism. What happened was this. Our town has a locally-owned food co-op, and a number of … [Read more...]
Somebody’s Idea of An Argument
Just finished talking with the cops about an incident last evening. When I came home last night (June 26, 2006), I checked our mailbox by the road before heading up the driveway. The mailbox contained a used condom, or a condom doctored to look as though it had been used. Now … [Read more...]
False, False, and False
For those who for some reason want to follow the saga of the most recent secularist and hypocritical (but I repeat myself) attack on Christ Church, you can see a particularly ripe sample here. This kind of thing is of course crazy. So why respond to it then? Why give the time of … [Read more...]
Extended Deadline
The last time I did this, a discussion broke out over whether we ought to cancel Trinity Fest. With this shameless appeal, because I am running that risk yet again, let me begin by showing the consistency between repentance of sin and rejoicing before the Lord. The reason for … [Read more...]
Age of Consent
I have received a couple of response to the question I posed to Joan Opyr about the age of consent. One question was from someone wondering if I have any trouble with our current age of consent laws. And the answer to that one is simple . . . no, I don't. Joan Opyr responded to … [Read more...]
Joan Opyr, Cub Reporter
One of our local adversaries writes for New West, and she has given us a dog's breakfast of an article here. Rather than engage with her assertions and misinformation over all (i.e. the total effect), or with her ghoulish willingness to trample over victims and their families so … [Read more...]
Vision 20/20 Posts On Sitler
As many of you know, the fracas this last week over the Steven Sitler situation occurred (for the most part) on a listserve discussion here in Moscow called Vision 20/20. I subscribed to it for the course of a few days, and then when it appeared that continued discussion in that … [Read more...]
Playing Chess on a Backgammon Board
I want to spend a few minutes discussing one of the larger lessons to be taken from the Sitler child molestation case. This is not being done to drag this thing out, or tangle it up further, but rather just the reverse. The way that this thing has been cynically used by the … [Read more...]
What I Do For A Living
I am a pastor. And I cover up sin for a living. In order to talk about such things intelligently, the gospel must always come first. God gives sinful man a most reasonable offer. Come, let us reason together, He says. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be white as … [Read more...]
Yes, I Know There Are Many Godly Youth Ministers
I am re-posting this on December 2, 2015. I do this because I am currently in the midst of a controversy about the sexual crimes (and immorality) of Jamin Wight, one of our Greyfriars back in that era, and one of my adversaries dug this up with a screen grab of some kind, … [Read more...]
