Paedo? Credo? Other?
Mark Horne has posted another good commentary on baptism in the Reformed Churches, and their common tendency to become credobaptists when it comes to baptizing adults… nay, not credobaptists, but “New-level-of-commitment-baptists”.

An Open Letter to George Lucas
Dear Mr. Lucas, Despite your best efforts, my acquaintances and I have managed to procure a copy of the original Star Wars movies in a format superior than the VHS that you sold a few years ago. A long time ago, in a city far, far away — before you decided that your movies weren’t […]

The Great Awakening, and the Infant Casualties
I am currently half-way through Lewis Bevens Schenck’s “The Presbyterian Doctrine of Children in the Covenant”. So far, it’s been a very good read. The book was first published in 1940, and originated as Dr. Schenck’s doctoral dissertation. Even though it’s been revised to be more readable, it does plod through a lot of historical […]

I Had a Bad Day Today
So, my surgery went Ok, and the doctor seemed happy about both the surgery and my recovery from the anesthesia. After all the horror stories that others have relayed, I was glad the doctor was both a) reputable and b) pleased with the results. This morning, I went back into the surgeon this morning to […]

An Open Letter From the President
Dear Presidential Debate Commission: I did not like this experience at all. It was scary. I have instructed Karl Rove to look into whether debates are un-American. Or maybe they threaten national security because they make me look weak. In any event, please stop calling me for these things. Very truly yours, President George Bush

Uneducated and Docile
You gotta love The Memory Hole. While many of us realize that the design of the public school creates an assembly line type of “education” system, where conformity to the standard is more important that growing in true knowledge, it’s nice to find research where we can hear this sort of thinking straight from their […]

Surgery Tomorrow
Sigh…. don’t read this post while you’re eating. I’m going in for surgery tomorrow. For the last nine years, I’ve been living with a pilonidal cyst in my more… um… nether regions. After the initial infection my senior year of high school, it’s been pretty benign, with the occasional flareup. It’s always been a pain, […]

Cuban Cigars May Not Be What They Once Were
As any cigar affectianado knows, Cuban cigars are considered the ultimate in forbidden fruit. Since the embargo was enacted on Cuba in the 1960’s, their cigars have been severely restricted from entering the United States. Since then, many people have done backflips and risked felony conviction to smuggle bundles back into the U.S. Since that’s […]

Compassion or Guilt?
I would hope that as Christians consider the issues, they truly consider their Christian brothers around the world, and the solutions to the poverty that exists worldwide. The solution lies not in Messianic government programs, or in “fair value” coffee beans, but in trusting in the principles that God places in his Word, “Thou Shalt Not Steal”.
