How far have we drifted from the biblical worship of our great God?
As if on cue, the Today Show takes upon themselves the onerous task of listing out the ten most tattooed cities in America.
I am pretty intrigued by the NY Times piece on emerging adults, if only because I am one and so resonate with many of the struggles they face. With that in mind, I thought I would excerpt a number of the responses I’ve seen.
I didn’t write it, but I sure wish I had.
In fact, any church where singleness is not treated as a full and acceptable vocation within the family of God does not value marriage properly, for it rejects one of the primary witnesses to the church’s eschatological life and one of the primary witnesses to marriage’s transcendent basis.
I do not believe there is any hope for the revolution Kass longs to see – and of which our civilization stands in the direst possible need – except through a revitalized Christendom in which God’s people resolutely refuse to continue their compromises with the spirit of the age.
As the death of reverence is particularly epidemic in the rising generation (people my age and younger), I have begun to judge the quality of a young person by what, if anything, awes them.
At the urging of a friend, I sat down and read Phillip Kenneson’s essay on the nature of truth in Christian Apologetics in the Postmodern World. I almost wish I hadn’t.
One of the conversations going on in the church that is very old but currently as lively as ever is the one about the relationship between science and theology.
Biblically oriented churches have historically conducted both morning and evening worship services on the Lord’s Day. Today, this practice is waning.
When we continue to say that modern man is ‘made in the image of God’, do we not encourage others and ourselves to have less need for the Savior?
Deut. 31:10...This is a remarkable statute. There is nothing like it in history. Notice the true conception of the Sunday school, viz.: men, women, and children. Notice the length of that Sunday school; it probably did not last the whole year of the land sabbath, for it commenced with the Feast of Tabernacles.

Piper & Sailhamer: The Offense of Biblical Creation & The False Authority of Science (5ptsalt.com)
Do John Piper and Tim Keller reject the biblical account of creation? Creation is recorded as a series of totally supernatural, perfectly executed, final acts in 6 literal days. Modern philosophy and all social sciences of men have long attempted to refute the biblical account, and were in fact, created for that very purpose, to deny God’s truth.

Sensus Divinitatis Publishing is raising the funds to publish Pastor Ben Miller's latest work on the book of Ecclesiastes.
By sin Adam lost the image of God and became corrupt in his nature. This is evident by what regeneration and sanctification must accomplish in a son of Adam.
My father was a primary school educator for thirty-nine years. He and my mother reared a family of three children, all of whom are walking faithfully with the Lord. He did all this while serving as a lay pastor for some dozen years. Let’s just say he knows a lot about people, and about little people in particular. When he speaks, I listen.
It is simply absurd to posit that the God of Scripture would delight in the artwork or performance of His enemies, and yet, that is precisely what Richard Mouw, and now Tony Reinke, would have us believe.
Was R.J. Rushdoony wrong? The charge of formulating the agenda for a "Christian theocracy" will always be placed at the doorstep of Rushdoony’s library—the place where he penned the thousands of pages that became a set of blueprints for Christian civilization.
I began seminary as a Calvinistic Baptist who had begun flirting with so-called “New Covenant Theology.” Within a few months, however, I had become a confirmed Presbyterian. The change was due largely to the dawning of a central insight.
Not long ago I was conversing with a fellow minister about weekly celebration of the Lord’s Supper. He made a comment that set my mental wheels spinning: there is, he said, a particular piety that flows out of (or accompanies) weekly celebration of the Supper, and it sits rather awkwardly with certain versions of piety in our heritage.
For a long time, I have wondered about the connection between James 1:4 and 1:5, and between James 1:5 and 1:6.
You can tell a lot about a person’s theological maturity by how he or she responds to unfamiliar ideas. Calm, gracious, appreciative, analytical listening is the mark of theological depth; what is desired is full understanding, a due weighing of complexities and implications, before a careful response is given (Prov 18:13).
I try to be charitably disposed toward our friends at the New York Times, really I do, but the depth of fatuity to which some of their op-ed stuff sinks simply invites derision.
