A Scots Presbyterian was once washed up on a desert island, and was stranded there for ten years. Fortunately, he was a son of a hardscrabble people, and was even harder in his theology. This meant that as the years went by, his work ethic produced quite an impressive array of huts, sheds, shelters, and …
A Temporizing Baa-Lamb
Over at Pulpit Magazine, Nathan Busenitz has given us an interesting write-up on an appearance of Mark Driscoll at the upcoming Desiring God conference. The article begins with recapping a disagreement that John Piper and I had during the Q&A at a Ligonier conference eight years ago. John was at that time concerned for those …
Your Word and Her Heart
A man ought never to be in a position to break a woman’s heart unless he is also simultaneously breaking his word. His word ought to always be a protective barrier between him and her heart. He ought never to be in a position to destroy her without destroying his own integrity first.
William F. Buckley, R.I.P.
William F. Buckley went to be with the Lord yesterday, and I cannot let the moment pass without acknowledging, however inadequately, my many obligations to him. I attended high school in Ann Arbor, Michigan from 1968 to 1971, and those were, as some of you no doubt recall, zany times in a zany town. I …
300 Cloth Napkins
Nancy and I had a wonderful week. We are currently ensconced in the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport, on our way back to the snow. The first part of the week we were at the pastors’ conference in Monroe, Louisiana, which was the usual good and edifying time. The topic was “Liturgy and Life,” and I commend …
And Wilson, Almost Suitably Abashed, Responds
When my friend John Armstrong suggested that this publication run a critical review of my book A Serrated Edge, and give me an opportunity to respond to that review, I agreed happily. I really do believe we ought to talk more about this stuff. Then when the package with the review arrived and I opened …
John Frame Reviews “A Serrated Edge”
Review of Douglas Wilson, A Serrated Edge [1] John M. Frame Just so everyone will know where I’m coming from, I should say that I am a longtime fan of both satire and Doug Wilson. The former came into my life much earlier than the latter. I first caught the writing bug doing satirical pieces …
Stand By for a Cordial Discussion
A number of months ago, John Armstrong asked me if I would mind writing a response to a review of A Serrated Edge in one of his publications, and I agreed happily. After they published it, we would then do the same. Unfortunately, they were providentially hindered from publishing the exchange and so the other …
Look At Me Go
I am the kind of techno maladroit who learns computerish things very slowly. No complaints here, no boasting — just the raw truth. So, for today’s lesson I am going to try to do two new things. Until a short while ago I did not know how to embed a video clip. I still might …
Ron Paul: YouTubin’ FeeNom
Something funny is going on.
