    Ed DriscollAuthority Authority: 150
    Last week, when I was at the supermarket checkout line, I came across this cover of Time: Main Street hates Wall Street? Isn’t such a broad “lumper” of a question rather specious to begin with?

    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 ...

    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 ...

    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.

    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 ...

    ImmoderateAuthority 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?

    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 .

    Feeding on ChristAuthority 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 ...

    Conscience has often lent its sanction to the grossest errors, and prompted the greatest crimes.
