A Tale of 2 Sons- School, Lefties & the State

Posted on May 28, 2024 by RC

Imagine six people- two fathers, two mothers, two sons. Two of the parents, we’ll call them the Sprouls, are Christians. Sinners to be sure, but by God’s grace, repenting ones. The other parents, we’ll call them Mr. and Mrs. Horace … Continue reading →

Golden Rule Epistemology

Posted on April 18, 2024 by RC

The Micah Mandate

Posted on April 9, 2024 by RC

Vox Dei

Posted on March 22, 2024 by RC

There’s something odd about the West’s shift from modernism to postmodernism. On the one hand, we would be wise to remember that the two are kin to each other. We can debate over whether they are father and son, older … Continue reading →

Posted on February 16, 2024 by RC

The Sins of Silence

Posted on February 15, 2024 by RC

Time was when those eager to not be thought fools thought it wise to stay silent. Speaking could change how you are perceived, or it could just confirm a negative opinion already held. This wisdom, whose source is in dispute, … Continue reading →
