Posted in Liberty Fund, free books on September 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
For a number of years the Liberty Fund has published beautiful books at incredibly reasonable prices. And over the past few years, they have made nearly all their books available online. Now they are offering “The Portable Library of Liberty” free to all who write to request it. It’s a DVD filled with over [...]
Is this really the future?

This is a man who is respected by many in the PCA and the conservative Reformed world in general. And yet, he has many questions about whether Adam was a real, historical figure. What? Where are the fierce and fearless Reformed “warriors for truth” when you really need them?

Just a thought

Today is the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution and I was just wondering what the Founders would think about the use of taxpayer money to help fund prostitution rings. I have no idea why that popped into my head . . . strange.
New study concludes spanking is bad
Posted in children, discipline, parenting on September 16, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Here’s some shocking news: a new study has just concluded that spanking children is bad for them and can have long lasting effects. I know. Don’t worry. I’ll give you a few moments to catch your breath.
The study found “spanking may have detrimental effects on behavior and mental development.” This conforms to the findings of [...]

Give a listen

We had a great time at the Bucer Institute this past Saturday, studying the theology and development of the Roman and Orthodox Churches. Let me encourage you especially to listen to Steven Wedgeworth’s three lectures:
“Lost in the Shamayim”
“The Eternal City and the Seven Councils: Just Who is the Church?”
“What’s a Reformed Catholic to Do? [...]

I never heard the full story until today (read Gentry Estes’ column from the Mobile Press-Register). Brandon Deaderick (defensive end for Alabama, he’s the one with the white bandages on his left arm) was shot by a robber Monday night, August 31, while waiting for someone in his car in a parking lot. The robber [...]

The truth about our politicians

Camille Paglia on Democrats:
“[A]ffluent middle-class Democrats now seem to be complacently servile toward authority and automatically believe everything party leaders tell them. Why? Is it because the new professional class is a glossy product of generically institutionalized learning? Independent thought and logical analysis of argument are no longer taught. Elite education in the U.S. has [...]

Y’all coming? Steven Wedgeworth and I will be doing a class on “Romanism and Orthodoxy” this coming Saturday at the Bucer Institute (starts at 9:00 a.m. in the Jackson House). It should be fun as we consider these two communions and the problems that they face in their doctrine and practice. Wedge will be carrying [...]
Mystery? What “mystery”?

John Barach pointed me to this article by Naomi Wolf on the effect of pornography on modern sexuality. Wolf argues that rather than whetting men’s appetites for sex, the effect of porn has been to dampen their interest in the “real thing.” Real women can’t compete with their cyber counterparts in the porn industry. Real [...]
