Over the last few weeks, a couple of epic comment threads have broken out here, and they have been revolving around the proposed view that I don’t know what I am talking about. In these cases it had to do with my idea that entropy and evolution are inconsistent, and also my lack of suitable …
Pastors in Pale Pastel
I have noticed, on the Internet and elsewhere, that when a pastor says something angular, the kind of thing that provokes questions and/or consternation, a very common stock response emerges. That response is that such behavior is “not very pastoral.” Such a response initially seems to be thoughtful and wise, concerned for unity and love, …
Catholicity Begins at Home
One of the things I have noticed over the years is that an awful lot of theological assessment is made on the basis of who you are standing next to when you say something. This creates problems if you have ecumenical impulses, because you might be standing next to entirely different types of people at …
On Throwing Wet Sponges At My Head
Many years ago, shortly after I had begun making a nuisance of myself to the somnolent liberalism of our little town, my wife and I crossed a threshold in how we learned to deal with public criticism.

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 …
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 …
