“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19). Repentance is a gift that can be given to individuals, but it is not limited to that. When reformation and revival break out, and it the genuine …
Not Worth the Candle
Bojidar has replied to my reply here. After reading over his latest, I want to say just three quick things before hitting the road. For any number of reasons, I see no real future in this discussion. All I want my three points to do is show that if there were ever a future in …
Just the Facts, Ma’am
Bojidar Marinov has a little fun with me here, wishing that I would become more of a plagiarist than he pretends to believe I already am. He wishes that in my Dirty Cops post I had plagiarized from an article he wrote about the Brown and Garner cases. However, after thinking about it deeply, and …
Dirty Cops
Everyone knows that dirty cops exist. We all know that somewhere, somehow, some cops are on the take, some are morally incompetent, some are on a power trip, some disable their body-cams before taking care of business, and so on. Anyone who believes that dirty cops can’t exist is someone who is unaware of the …
Cracking Down on Crackers
Over the years, as I have written on culture and race, I have had to write on two fronts. In order to engage with the MSNBC-approved narrative, I need to engage with the Black Lives Matter kind of evil, which is all the thing these days. It is evil and popular with the cool kids. …
On Not Blowing Sunshine
Introduction: A few weeks ago, Thabiti contributed to our ongoing discussion of the presidential election and race relations with this post. I responded briefly here, and promised to say more about it later on. It is now later on, and so here I am. Productive Discussions: Thabiti said that he and I manage to have …
Thabiti and Thanks
I would like to say a few brief words about Thabiti’s latest, and at the same time promise to respond more extensively to his (most gracious) admonitions in a week or two. The reason for that delay is that I really want to take to heart anything and everything I can, and not just automatically …
John the Baptist’s Yard Sign
Introduction: A few days ago, I replied to Thabiti’s initial post about how he felt constrained to support Hillary as the lesser of two evils. He was kind enough to issue a rejoinder here, and now with the tennis ball over here in front of me again, I suppose it is my turn. Before getting …
How Many Chicagos?
Introduction Allow me to begin by giving you all a round-up of links that offer some very different perspectives on Debacle 2016. Wayne Grudem presents a case arguing that Christians can vote for Donald Trump. Thabiti Anyabwile presents his reasons for voting for Hillary here, which will be the inspiration for my comments today. And …
Racial Held Evans
It is somewhat difficult for me to piece this together because Rachel Held Evans has blocked me on Twitter, and so I only get oblique references from other directions. But apparently there has been another outburst of indignation against me on Twitter for my views on race and Southern slavery, and some of her comments …
