Collected Tweets and Takes on James K.A. Smith’s Culture Cave-In
James K.A. Smith, professor of philosophy at Calvin University, has always had a way with words — but with his latest, that clever tongue is forked. Smith, the once darling of neo-Calvinism, thought it wise for his limp wrist to take up pen and go off the Reformed rails. Smith desires that Callvin University unhitch from the Christian Reformed Church because "in 2022, the synod ...—the governing body of the denomination—adopted a report on human sexuality which stipulates that 'homosexual sex' violates the definition of 'unchastity' in the Heidelberg Catechism." In other words, James K.A. Smith has caved to the spirit of the age and is and advocate of revolution over reformation and synthesis.

While sojourning in Scotland in 1881, Kuyper discovered to his amazement that Alexander Comrie (1706–1774), one of the best representatives of Reformed theology in the eighteenth century, was virtually unknown in the Scottish Presbyterian Church.

The Piety of a Normal Job & the Process to Arrive There
“How can I pick the right job?” Actually, you don't need to choose a job that's "perfect for you." But you do need to be productive in ways that honor God in your work life. Here's a better question: As a believer, how can I determine what I am supposed...
Boys and Girls Portrayed Right
Most children’s book and entertainment are woefully lame (and, of course, most adult books and entertainment are lame as well [(did you guys see that there is an Amazon show for clowns that has a black, gay, handicap King of England?]). In attempts to counteract that (often with good intentions)...
