Let me from the start confess to not being very original. I borrowed the concept of the title of this piece from a recent column from Douglas Wilson–though I use it differently. We’ll return to it in a little bit after I work through a couple of things. The first is the White Horse Inn,…

Gimme All Your Money: The Trap of Progressive Liberalism
During its 1980’s resurgence, the Texas band ZZ Top released its Eliminator album, which contained the hit single, Give Me All Your Lovin’. The chorus went like this: Gimme all your lovin’, all your hugs and kisses too,Gimme all your lovin’, don’t let up until we’re through. Reviewing the song’s lyrics as I write this,…
A World at War
Perhaps the greatest blindness of the modern church is its failure to understand that the world is at war–against the church. This war pits the church as a combatant against its opponent–or enemy–the unbelievers in the world. In fact, the war is an effort by the unbelieving world to usurp God’s rule; in other words,…
The Tragedy of Evangelical Compassion: The Welfare State
What do we do when we realize the welfare state isn’t working? Well, for a lot of Evangelicals, the trick is actually getting to that point. Many appear content with government welfare programs as a means of assisting the poor; some even seem to think that we are sinning by not spending enough money on…
Evangelical v. Biblical Compassion

This would be odd, except for the fact that it fits neatly into the pattern of those suffering from Trump Derangement…

It is hard to be more entertaining or informative than this.

The Man Who Knew Too Much
Just watched this movie recently. A great old Alfred Hitchcock film starring James Stewart and Doris Day. It reminds one that, as fantastic as the idea seems these days, it actually is possible to make really good, highly suspenseful movies without gratuitous violence, cursing, and sex. Highly recommended.
In Europe, Free Speech Bows to Sharia
The primary goal of the left today appears to be suppression of speech. Which makes total sense of your goal is to eliminate your opponents. All you have to do is to get their ideas labeled as hateful, get a mob to shout them down, get the press to denounce them and their ideas, get…
