  • Thoughts on public schools, home schools, and Christian schools

    Excerpt:
    So the point is, start a Christian school; and then, don’t get wrapped around the axle if it goes bust. The doctrine of Original Sin needs to make a comeback in the Reformed church today—especially in our aspirations concerning the education of our children.

  • Who trembles at My word (2)

    Excerpt:
    This is what I mean by pastors apologizing for God’s Word and truth. To proclaim “God hath said” followed by “I wish God hadn’t said” undercuts God’s authority and Words.

    Yet this is the habit of even the most conservative pastors today. They do it unconsciously, I think, but they do it relentlessly. Usually it is not as direct as what my friend said above. More typically the pastor will pepper the times he says God’s “no” in his sermon with hedge phrases like, “that’s what it says” and “we all see it” and “this might make you uncomfortable.” There are endless ways of distancing ourselves from God, leaving Him to be the ogre and us simply the bearer of His nasties.

  • Who trembles at My word (1)

    Excerpt:
    In the gatherings of our Lord’s flock, God’s truth must always possess the seat of honor. Without it the church dies. But the church has often betrayed the preeminence in worship of the proclamation of God’s truth, and has often trimmed it. Concerning the preeminence of the preaching of God’s Word in the gathering of the church corporately for worship, this has been done most frequently by displacing the preaching of Scripture, subordinating it to the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper.

  • Three deaths: Sharon Dykstra, Bill Mouser, and Tim Keller (3)

    Excerpt:
    Pastor Keller claims “nothing is more subversive and prophetic” than proclaiming Jesus as “the truth.” How subversive and prophetic would it be to proclaim God’s hatred for the bloodshed of innocents? Keep in mind Manhattan leads the nation in this slaughter of our Lord’s little ones:

    41% of all New York City pregnancies end in abortion…. New York City’s 2019 abortion rate was 27.2 abortions per 1,000 women ages 15-44, approximately double the national rate…. The largest portion of New York City abortions were performed in Manhattan (44 percent).

  • Three deaths: Sharon Dykstra, Bill Mouser, and Tim Keller (2)

    Excerpt:
    Fr. Bill again:

    Starting with egalitarianism, the founders of CBMW sought to distance themselves from egalitarianism only by the absolute minimal amount, a minimal distance which they could (supposedly) defend by reference to a handful of verses in the New Testament.

    And:

    What will “follow” complementarianism?

    The only valid possibility is a full-throated, unapologetic, comprehensively Biblical patriarchy—both in terms of a full-orbed theology of the sexes and also in terms of viable communities where Biblical patriarchy governs cradle to grave life in those communities.

  • What makes the Church's worship beautiful? Her prayers

    Excerpt:
    How do we evaluate the sincerity of our prayers? Is sincerity just a feeling we have while we pray? And does God simply assess that feeling by gazing into our hearts and judging our prayers accordingly? What criteria does He use for gauging whether or not our hearts are in our prayers?

    Scripture has a prominent answer to this question, and it’s not just that God looks into our hearts and knows what’s there. One of the most consistent ways the Lord judges the sincerity of our prayers is by seeing whether or not we obey His commandments.

  • Three deaths: Sharon Dykstra, Bill Mouser, and Tim Keller (1)

    Excerpt:
    This is my account of one mother in Israel, and no one reading this will wonder at my public confession that I was strengthened in my work and ministry by Sharon Dykstra.

    Is it too much to ask that pastors in other conservative reformed and presbyterian denominations will be as faithful as this dear woman? Must she suffer male intimidation and its attendant discouragement while celebrity preachers receive their accolades in response to their sophisticated trimming of God’s truth? Is there any legitimate reason why male church officers should depend upon women from rural communities married to the town barber to call other godless church officers to repentance?

  • Russian peasants and American Marines

    Excerpt:
    Here’s an excerpt from the fifth volume of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s magnum opus, a lengthy history of the Russian Revolution titled The Red Wheel. Note the revolutionaries’ utter disdain for the peasants, and thus the soldiers they were depending upon to keep fighting in their defense during World War I. Then too, remember Stalin’s slaughter of the kulaks, years later.

    Those who love and work the land are always a grave threat to intellectuals and revolutionaries...

  • "The Gospel Blimp," from 1960 book to 2023 HD streaming movie

    Excerpt:
    The Gospel Blimp continued to resonate, though. It sold and sold and sold. Eventually another publisher even deigned to republish it. Soon it was even being made into a movie, with Shorty Yeaworth, best known today for his cult classic The Blob, directing...

  • What is beautiful worship?

    Excerpt:
    I must confess that my heart was filled with reverence and awe as I walked into that stunning cathedral. It made me want to be a part of whatever goes on there. I wanted to stay for hours and gape at the galaxy of artistic detail that enveloped me as I sat in the beautiful oak pews.

    But there was one catch: the entire sanctuary was filled with idols.
