Now, I’m the kind of man that wouldn’t harm a mouse / But if I catch somebody breakin’ in my house / I’ve got a twelve gauge shotgun waitin’ on the other side -Charlie Daniels Watching United 93 awhile back, … Continue reading

Our biggest foe
In Ch. 9 of “Evangelicalism Divided,” the venerable Iain Murray of Banner of Truth Trust has valuable words on Satan: The devil is a mere fable and superstition, so men believe; according to Scripture he is the unseen enemy who … Continue reading

Luther: ride to the sound of the guns
If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the Word of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly … Continue reading
Abortion and the early church
Almost three thousand years ago, Solomon wrote, “there is nothing new under the sun” (Ec. 1:9). In the case of abortion, his conclusion is essentially supported. The methods and motives, and the questions involved in the morality and metaphysics of … Continue reading
In the love of one woman
In the movie Rembrandt, the painter (Charles Laughton) sits in a tavern with a group of men. How, his companions ask, can he stand to paint his wife Saskia all the time? Seven years of marriage, and still he paints … Continue reading

Rome’s pretensions
Here’s an interesting excerpt from A. Cleveland Coxe’s introduction to the great 2nd-century church father Irenaeus’s work, Against Heresies: This history introduces us to the Church in her western outposts… Polycarp had sent Pothinus into Celtic Gaul at an early … Continue reading
