Introduction: We have now stumbled into our third in a series of four lectures, I trust somewhat happily. The first was entitled An Inescapable Burden of Glory, as you no doubt recall, and it addressed the necessity that God has placed upon all of us, and within each of usโthat of seeking glory somehow, somewhere. …
Burn All the Schools
Introduction: H.L. Mencken once suggested a shrewd educational reform that has somehow not caught on. He said that there was nothing wrong with our current education establishment that could not be fixed by burning all the schools, and hanging all the teachers. Now some might want to dismiss this as an extreme measure, but visionaries …
Conservative Colleges That Don’t Conserve
So then, as Dylan said, you donโt have to be a weatherman to tell which way the wind is blowing. Progressives like to pretend that they are โthe Resistance,โ but the real resistance is going to have to come from people who believe the Bible, all of it. And one of the key battlegrounds with …

Gratitude and Faith: ACCS at 25
Here are my notes for my plenary address at the ACCS Repairing the Ruins Conference. It is in part a retrospective, in that this year marks our 25th conference. Introduction: As one who was there at the beginning of ACCS, I want to spend some time thanking the Lord for His great kindness to our …
The Circumference of Darkness
I am currently at the ACCS conference, and wanted to share a takeaway point from George Grantโs talk, one that made the entire trip worth it. Everything else is just added value.
