In honour of Reformation Day…

R.C. Sproul covering what it was all about: https://www.ligonier.org/learn/series/luther-and-the-reformation Protestants around the world today celebrate their distinction from the Roman Catholic Church proudly and regularly. Yet, how many actually know the history behind their separation? The old adage “you can’t know where you are going until you know from where you came” may not ringContinue reading “In honour of Reformation Day…”

Doug Wilson’s No Quarter November

Douglas Wilson kicks off his annual No Quarter November today with a long discussion on the status of StickerGate, their dust-up with local Moscow authorities over mandate protest stickers. As an added bonus: “This month there will be multiple free book giveaways, both from the Mablog Shoppe and from Canon Press. This first one todayContinue reading “Doug Wilson’s No Quarter November”

If you were living in a totalitarian system, who would tell you?

A lengthy but helpful thought experiment: Even the most faithful believer in the prevailing system has likely heard rumblings of rumored objections to the prevailing narrative. Some examples include the claim that the covid vaccines don’t prevent infection or transmission—Or that natural immunity provides much stronger protection than the vaccines (in addition to actually preventingContinue reading “If you were living in a totalitarian system, who would tell you?”

Preparing for the Savage Gods

From Pastor Douglas Wilson, 10.6.2021 Each form of idolatry must be repudiated, of course, but these two kinds of idolatry must be dealt with differently. If you have a Baal set up in your back yard, then the only appropriate thing to do is pull it down. But if you have the god of mammonContinue reading “Preparing for the Savage Gods”

Prohibiting Prayer in Australia

From Carl Trueman, 2.8.21: The legislation also demonstrates one of the oddest results of the modern emphasis on the radical freedom of the individual. In such a world, all must theoretically be allowed to have their own narratives of identity. But because some narratives of identity inevitably stand in opposition to others, some identities mustContinue reading “Prohibiting Prayer in Australia”

Do Pro-Life Principles Require a Sustained Shutdown of the Economy? Who Decides?

From author Scott Klusendorf, April 2020 Pro-life advocates argue that it’s wrong to intentionally kill innocent human beings, and policies permitting it are scandalous. That core principle is non-negotiable, even when suspending it might profit us in a pandemic. To cite an example, when congressional Democrats called on the Trump administration to lift federal fundingContinue reading “Do Pro-Life Principles Require a Sustained Shutdown of the Economy?

In Defense of the B.C. Churches

My main concern is that a number of Christians have begun to point the finger at churches which have opened.  They are being called childish, dangerous, and rebellious.  Their leaders’ character is attacked.  Some believers point at Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2, and demand unconditional obedience to government.  It is simple, they say.  EvenContinue reading “In Defense of the B.C. Churches”

On Humming “A Mighty Fortress” Through Your Masks

Posted on Monday, September 27, 2021 by Douglas Wilson To bring it back to this issue of masking and vaccines, I believe that a lot of ministers have sinfully disgraced themselves by simply accepting the chains. I also believe that there have been many others who were foolish, but not rebellious. Some ministers have revealed that theyContinue reading “On Humming “A Mighty Fortress” Through Your Masks”
