In two days two things will happen. First, it will be, for everyone around the world, Valentine’s Day. Second, it will be for me and my Valentine, and all those who join us, our first day of worshipping as Sovereign … Continue reading →

The Scandal of the Gospel

Posted on February 10, 2021 by RC

All of us, both within and without the church, face the temptation of being legalists when dealing with others’ sins against us, and antinomians when dealing with our sins against others. We want those we have perceived to have wronged … Continue reading →

The Madness of the Method

Posted on February 6, 2021 by RC

“You can’t turn back time.” “There’s no stopping progress.” It’s interesting the way we manipulate words. It’s certainly true, I suppose, that you can’t turn back time, and that there’s no stopping progress. But somehow these truisms have come to … Continue reading →

Name It Blame It

Posted on February 5, 2021 by RC

Not long ago I published an Ask RC podcast titled, “What’s wrong with the enneagram?” One of my (many) concerns is that as with so many other so called assessment tests, we always face the temptation to excuse our sin … Continue reading →

Evil Employees and Saintly Corporations

Posted on February 3, 2021 by RC

It is a common but dangerous business, our propensity to make ourselves the heroes of our own stories, and to see all who stand in our way as wearing the black hats. As a person with an interest in all … Continue reading →

This Is My Body

Posted on January 30, 2021 by RC

I have some degree of sympathy with the argument because I once made it myself. I was in high school, and served faithfully as the poster child for the National Sophomoric Self-Important Blow-Hard Association. I dressed in black, listened to … Continue reading →

Surviving Biden

Posted on January 29, 2021 by RC

There has to be balance. There is a fatalism that simply shrugs when Rome’s imperial army is parked outside Jerusalem’s door. The destruction of the city in 70 AD was plenty bad. On the other hand, there are those who … Continue reading →

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

Posted on January 27, 2021 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 →

That They May Be One

Posted on January 23, 2021 by RC

Denominations, we are told, divide. We are told by apologists for the one true church, both the one true church that bows toward Rome and the other one, those who bow toward Constantinople, that our divisions are damning evidence against … Continue reading →

Accommodating the Public (Schools)

Posted on January 22, 2021 by RC

Wouldn’t it be great if there were a platform, a medium that was accessible by all, where differing opinions could be expressed? Where no ideology was privileged and no ideology suppressed? A kind of Mars Hill. One question though. Should … Continue reading →
