30% of all attacks are from the front.

Blowing it up again.

Why go to church? Because like Richard Baxter says our lives are like having one foot in the grave and one foot out. We need the word preached to us to revitalize our souls from their automatic apathy.

Frank Turk reviews a book Im reading right now that is anything but cool, except the cover. Here is my favorite quote so far,

"A lot of guys are patting themselves on the back for being revolutionaries, futurists, and rend shapers. There's nothing really wrong with that, but I just dont want to be one of them. In fact, what we're doing isn't revolutionary at all. It's awfully traditional and old. Feel the excitement." -Ted Kluck, Why We Love The Church, p22.

Just like our beloved Machen, they love their tradition, because it sustains blessed historical orthodoxy.

Get it and read it. Very much worth your money.

Trueman Slams it Again

Some people know me as a very driven person. But I slept in today, got out of bed at 5:30am to read some greek New Testament.

So a long time ago there was a goal that was set in front of me. Not so much like a carrot in front of a rabbit, but more like, I had never accomplished anything in totality in my life at this time and a very honorable goal was set before me that the mistress of fate demanded that I take. It was a great priviledge at the time, something I did not deserve, but was offered out of grace. Rising to the trial by ordeal of manhood, like a soldiers first battle I finnaly realized I had something worth fighting for, values worth dying for, instead of aimlessly wandering around the decadence of America. This goal changed my life by allowing me to be shown that I could attain something by shutting my whining adolescent mouth, working hard, sweating profusely, bleeding incandescently, and walking the line of physical torture. All to attain this goal. So in a more blue collar sense, real men call this hard work, real work. I learned this then, and it changed my life.

However, our world is full of whinny people who victimize themselves into self-aggrandizement at the expense of everyone and to the glory of their own self. One quote from the following article, "...but the tactic is different: to win by seizing the moral high ground that belongs to the professional victim." Ever get jacked out of something by a whiner?


Carl Trueman explains our narcissistic culture much better than I. It is a must read.

Here in this article, Carl Trueman shows where our culture has gone and why it is where it is.

Quit Whining. Go do some hard work. Walk the Ancient Ways.
