Highlights from Kabuki Village. This disgusting scribe was 30 minutes late for court because he didn’t want to face the press for willfully scratching the vehicle of a Marine who was about to be deployed. So the judge issued a bench warrant! . . . Continue reading →

I'm Thankful For The Writers' Strike
Since I discovered how to subscribe to podcasts tons of stuff has been piling up on my iPod. As you probably have discovered by now, time is a zero-sum-game. If I’m watching the stupid and stupefying television (Newton Minnow was never more . . . Continue reading →

Reeves Responds to Clark
Russ Reeves of Tolle Blogge (his blog is no longer available) and Providence Christian College wrote such a thoughtful response to the “Natural is Not Neutral” post that it shouldn’t be buried in the comments.
Corrections to the Battles’ Edition of the Institutes

Wright, Professor of Patristic and Reformed Christianity (emeritus) from Edinburgh University, and Dr. Jon Balserak, research fellow in theology at the University of Birmingham, are considering a revision of the Battles edition of Calvin’s Institutes. . . .

Saturdays Are for Seminary
With apologies to Scot McKnight (Fridays are for Friends – but what good is the web if I can’t blatantly rip off a good idea and pretend it’s mine?) I thought perhaps I could bring some order to the chaos that has . . . Continue reading →
Redeeming Culture?
Tullian raises the question of “redeeming” culture (original link no longer available). I wonder, however, why we need to speak about “redeeming” culture at all? T. M. Moore appeals to Eph 4:8, but the difficulty of this appeal is that the context . . . Continue reading →
Now It All Begins to Make Sense
Thanks to faithful reader Paul Grace who alerted me to Carl Trueman’s secret life! So many things begin to make sense now. It’s time again for the annual “Stella Awards”! For those unfamiliar with these awards, they are named after 81-year-old Stella . . . Continue reading →
Black, White, and Reformed (A Response)
The discussion continues over the first post, but the comment below from a reader named Lawrence prompts further thoughts: We are splitting hairs. My point is that continually berating our society for something we aren’t doing anymore if foolish. Every society on . . . Continue reading →
FV Spreading into Southern Europe

Wanted: Better Tunes for the Psalms
We were having an interesting discussion about the WHI show on “happy-clappy” worship. One of the things for which I have been “banging the drum” is the need for contemporary settings of the Psalms. I love the Book of Psalms for Singing. . . . Continue reading →
Louisiana Presbytery (PCA) Cited and Indicted

When "Happy-Clappy" Isn’t
The WHI guys have been doing a series on worship. This one is particularly good. This being the Sabbath it seems appropriate to post it.
Does the FV Really Accept the Existence of NECMs?
Over at Green Bagginses, Reed raises the question of the status of NECMs (non-elect covenant members) and how the Federal Vision (FV) views them. There’s much good there, particularly in the quotations from Turretin on temporary faith and the like. That distinction, . . . Continue reading →
