The elusiveness of “true spirituality”
My wife used to call me a “dark knight of the soul Christian” because I was always miserable. At the time, I didn’t know what my issue was, but I knew my Christian-longings weren't satiated. Looming over my existence was an itch that all the Theological readings and Christian activity couldn’t scratch. So. I just sort of white-knuckled my way through my Christian life. I was on the losing end of the so-called "victorious Christian life."
Let Twitter rage; Douglas Wilson is the people's Theologian.
Join us for a conversation with Douglas Wilson, where we delve into his recent book, 'Mere Christendom,' explore the unexpected blessings of online trolls, examine the remarkable overlap between Abraham Kuyper and Douglas Wilson, and celebrate the genius of whoever is behind Canon Press' Twitter account (by the way, everyone who subscribes to the Westminster Confession of Faith is a Christian nationalist).
What happened to preaching “the whole counsel of God”?
Preachers conflate the law and gospel (therefore the church knows little difference- totally detrimental), doesn’t discipline, elders fear their own wives more than YHWH, meets once a week for 2 hours, will not get involved with legal matters because no one is competent (1 Cor. 6:1-5), not interested in prayer meetings (Acts 1), will be a Jesus or a Spirit Church instead of Father Son and Spirit church, the Trinity is ignored because its to heady, even the Son’s eternal generation is not taught though Gill says it “is the distinguishing criterion of the Christian religion.…"
"To take such a revolutionary step is to cut ourselves off from the Christian past"
I heard that the Church of England was being advised to declare women capable of Priests' Orders. I am, indeed, informed that such a proposal is very unlikely to be seriously considered by the authorities. To take such a revolutionary step at the present moment, to cut ourselves off from the Christian past and to widen the divisions between ourselves and other Churches by establishing an order of priestesses in our midst, would be an almost wanton degree of imprudence. And the Church of England herself would be torn in shreds by the operation...
The telos, and hinderances, of manhood

Recovering an appropriated tradition (and silencing the liberals)
The liberals have usurped Kuyper. I’m mad that many (most?) modern “neo-Calvinists” teach un-Biblical/un-Kuyperian views. I’m mad that Kuyper often gets lumped in with these usurpers. Why should the heretics and liberals get Kuyper as their own? Well, they shouldn’t(!). It’s time we reclaim Kuyper... Let’s put these liberals who...
A Street-Level History of Abortion
Tracing the History of Abortion in America by Looking beyond the Laws to the Dramatic Stories and Colorful Personalities of the People They Touched Fifty years ago, the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion-on-demand sparked nationwide tensions that continue to this day. In the decades since that ruling, abortion...

Because there are no throwaway verses
When starting a new Bible-reading plan, many readers begin enthusiastically in Genesis but then lose momentum when they encounter the Old Testament laws and genealogies. But the Pentateuch—the first five books of the Bible—has much to offer today’s Christian; it is the foundation for understanding the rest of the Bible,...
"The passion of revisionism never breeds an only child"
“Orthodoxy, like the spires and beams in a gothic structure, can uphold a bigger and stronger roof. Heresy, however, is like a series of cracks that tend to multiply in ways that, over time, can’t sustain the weight of such beauty. By spreading throughout the structure, heresies lead to collapse. Some...
Toward a Christian Vision of Government
The cult of Climate, Covid, CRT, LGBT, and "unity. We’re at a cultural moment. It’s a product of counter reformation. Success involves 0 carbon, 0 Covid, 0 intolerance. They are impossible utopian goals… This all gives justification for state to have ultimate reach and authority power to get us to...
The Rule of Faith for Reading the Bible
Today we sit down with Todd Hains, author of “Martin Luther and the Rule of Faith” (IVP), and learn that there is more to Luther than his emphasis on salvation by faith alone. How should we read the Bible? What lens should we have when reading the law? What guide...
Jacob & the Old Testament Guide to Messy Discipleship
“There is much in Jacob’s character, actions, and motives that I find extremely distasteful, which is exactly why I identify so closely with him. He is everything about myself that I wish I were not. Even in utero, he is looking out for #1… For all these reasons and more,...
Artists in our society are in a very peculiar position. On the one hand they are regarded very highly, almost like high priests of culture who know the inner secrets of reality. On the other hand they are completely superfluous people. Respected, yes. But others are still quite ready to...
