Pyromaniacs


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.
