  Defending. Contending. — Authority: 503
  You may as well see without light, and be supported without earth, or live without food, as to be saved without holiness . . . the one thing necessary (Heb. 12:14). And when this has been determined by God, and established as His standing law, and He has told it so often and plainly, for any man then to say, “I will ...

  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  As Rand Simberg writes, Barack Obama, while on the campaign trail last year, “persuaded many small business people to pull in their horns and make plans to keep a low profile (including laying people off) in order to avoid the wealth confiscation of the populist, socialist, economic storm they saw coming with his ...

• Dreaming Of A Red Christmas?

  
  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  At Big Hollywood, S.T. Karnick notes that, as he calls it, Robert Zemeckis’s  “motion-capture-animation version of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol” had a disappointing opening weekend.

• Al Gore And The Original Assault On Reason

  
  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  Dubbing Al Gore “The Thinking Man’s Thinking Man”, Newsweek has yet another of its unintentionally ironic headlines.  (At least we think the irony is unintentional, although Conquest’s Third Law is always a potential factor.) And while we won’t say a word about the inherent sexism in the headline ...

• Jonathan Edwards (and Josh Moody) on reason and revelation

  
  Immoderate — Authority: 106
  Is Christianity reasonable? How many of the “truths of Christianity” should we be able to find “in nature” or to be “reasonable”? Is Christianity verified through reason or in nature?

• One Tin Soldier Rides Away

  
  Ed Driscoll — Authority: 150
  Iowahawk has a superb mock headline roundup of how the legacy media is (depending upon your point of view) either covering Nidal Hasan, or would prefer to be covering him . Update: Whoops — I missed this line in Iowahwk’s spot-on parody of Time magazine: “Hasan was a psychiatrist whom the Army desperately ...

  Feeding on Christ — Authority: 132
  We have been looking at the exegesis of Puritan William Fenner (1600 – 1640). His method is remarkably straight forward. Fenner takes key passages and develops his message according to the immediate context with occasional support from similar texts. Scripture interprets scripture. We have been comparing his use of ...

  Defending. Contending. — Authority: 503
  Conscience has often lent its sanction to the grossest errors, and prompted the greatest crimes. Did not Saul of Tarsus, for instance, drag men and women to prison; compel them to blaspheme; and stain his hands in saintly blood, while conscience approved the deed—he believed that he was doing God service. . . .
