Excerpt: Wheaton is again notorious, although those who have done the dirty deed keep announcing their deceptions are godly and have won the day. Methinks Wheaton’s rich white ladies and men do protest too much. In the end, the question is whether Wheaton’s President loves his students, or not? It’s easy to tell which it is. * * * Support Warhorn h…

Excerpt: Milton, then, was not merely a hired pen of the Republic but its principled supporter. He began his service believing in the possibility that, in the Commonwealth, he was helping to build God’s kingdom on earth. Yet, over the course of his many years’ unflinching service to the Republic and subsequently to Oliver Cromwell as its Lord Prote…

Excerpt: Repeatedly, I have warned that the Church seeking political power will compromise the Church's witness. Naming their political aspirations "Christian" is to align the Church with their political aspirations, and the compromise is already visible, and will only grow. Christians should take public moral and ethical stands which uphold God's …

Excerpt: Nature worship bears hideous fruit, physically and morally. God has ordained it so. We and our children have not chosen LGBTQism, but God has smeared it all over us. It is His decision, not ours. His choice, not ours. And the fact that we glory in it is also his judgment on us. He has given us over to shamelessness. * * * Support Warhorn h…

Excerpt: Academic freedom is as academic freedom does, and Wheaton's profs proved themselves ignorant of how such a privilege is to be used for the promotion of truth and the common good. The evidence was all there, free for the asking, but not one of them availed themselves of it and took any stand of conscience. * * * Support Warhorn here. Music …

Excerpt: Yesterday, news from Switzerland announced the Swiss government's kidnapping of a child from his father and mother to enforce government employees' judgment the child's body should be mutilated. It all started with the government's puberty blockers. The father and mother were opposed to the government mutilating their child, and they lost.…

Excerpt: Apple sent me an email asking me to rate my experience yesterday with their Indy Apple Store, so I guess I should honor their request. Three days ago, the trackpad on my '23 Macbook Pro 14" cracked. It had been sitting next to me and when I picked it up, there was this crack from left to right across the trackpad. Nothing dropped on it... …

Excerpt: Yet we've been whupped and, with regard to man and nature, we live in submission syndrome, looking for places and ways to confess our sins and parade our repentance. We have a rescued dog. We refuse to touch single-use plastic bags (which, by the way, have never been single-use). We take our dog to the dog park. We carry our own non-dispos…

Excerpt: Do we want to strengthen our mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives? Do we want to restore Eve to the center of life and love as God made her? To the work God created for her and her for? There is no path to that love and beauty other than loving, living, and preaching God's archetypal Fatherhood over all His Creation * * * Support Warhorn…

Excerpt: At Wheaton College under his tenure as President and at the Third General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of America under his term as Moderator, the Dyrness brothers opposed J. Oliver Buswell Jr. From this point on, Wheaton's trustees take an increasingly hostile posture towards President Buswell, with a particular focus on his work a…

Excerpt: The Protestant church in America today is inundated by women who preach, teach, and exercise authority over men, and the men who enable this sexual rebellion. The rebellion is so broadly practiced and accepted that the church's motto has become, "She is there, and she is not silent." * * * Support Warhorn here. Music is Rise Up, O Lord, a …

Excerpt: If we're talking about what "plays in Peoria," women do better at prophesying against the false shepherds than men. We're happy to let them. Have you noticed who are the souls who are exposing the false shepherds, today? Women. * * * Support Warhorn here. Music is Rise Up, O Lord, a recording of Psalm 10 by My Soul Among Lions.…

Excerpt: If Sen. Vance were a comedian, everyone would be laughing. What he said is true and everyone knows it—especially the women who are now livid. He used the expression "childless cat ladies" because it's a trope. We all know and love one or another childless cat lady, but the reasonable among us are not foolish enough to want them leading our…

Excerpt: Secy. Mayorkas has announced he is in charge of the investigation and he is now appointing and announcing the women and men he's chosen for his Investigation Committee. The guy doesn't get it. His administrative leadership at the top of a heap which includes the Secret Service is precisely what needs to be investigated. For him to choose t…

Excerpt: Real men have always been loathe to fight women; and in the workplace, even to disagree with them. So no, there has never been a rising up of soldiers against women admirals, generals, or all their human resource apparatus enforcing feminist mainstreaming of the female sex across the Armed Forces and law enforcement. But get the common sol…

Excerpt: Because as soon as President Trump hit the deck behind the podium last night, he was surrounded and escorted off the platform by six or so Secret Service agents. When there is a shooter, it is their duty to cover President Trump's body with their own. Four of the Secret Service agents could and did do that. The men. Two of the Secret Servi…

Excerpt: Contrary to Sen. Hawley, Augustine was not founding Christian nationalism when he wrote City of God, and it was not a book recommending some heartwarming but undefined “mutual love.” As with the ashes of the Roman Empire which Augustine was addressing, so today the real question we face as a nation is * * * Support Warhorn here.

Excerpt: Here are five planks to be published broadly by Christian Nationalist Party members. As the Christian Nationalist Party seeks to establish the reign of God and codification of His law at the center of our nation and states' governmental authority, let it state the fundamentals of that rule and law established by God at Creation: First, we …

Excerpt: "But I don't want to trust God," I said. And having blurted it out, I realized it was true. I didn't want to be dependent on God. I wanted to demand what was rightfully mine, and get it. Subdued, but still full of self-justification, I walked back to my office, and then I began to come to terms with my sinful self. Whom was I really angry …

Excerpt: From the pulpit, I've often pointed out that the preacher is the man we pay to lie while the comedian is the man we pay to tell the truth. The preacher who tells the truth and the comedian who doesn't tell the truth will both be fired. Try to imagine a politically correct comedian on a comedy club stage and the point is made. * * * Support…

Excerpt: Some declarations of self-righteousness and scholarly objectivity should be met with catcalls, and this one qualifies. There is not one man today arguing over the meaning of the Biblical word and office of deacon who is not governed by his commitment either to submit to, or rebel against, the New Testament command that women not teach or e…

Excerpt: Pastors whose church growth came through flattering and gathering rebels will now be forced to submit to those rebels. In every job, there is a way for cheats to make a quick buck. The pastorate is no different. If a pastor makes a quick church out of flattering rebels, he'll pay the price. * * * Support Warhorn here. Music is Rise Up, O L…

Excerpt: If one were to separate the positives and negatives in Scripture, what proportion would we say are positive and what negative? Some might quibble over the definitions of "positive" and "negative" so another way to approach the issue is asking how much of Scripture is given over to recording God's promises as opposed to His warnings; His bl…

Excerpt: In 1940, Wheaton's Trustees were scandalized by President Buswell's battle against heresy. They wanted a peaceful campus and non-controversial president, so they fired President Buswell and promoted history prof, V. Raymond Edman, into the presidency. * * * Support Warhorn here.

Excerpt: Ryken, his Trustees and faculty grudgingly admit this in their Report. But note their final sentence. They couldn't help themselves: During (Buswell's) tenure as president (1926-1940), the College's endowment expanded substantially, both the faculty and the student body roughly tripled in size (from a few hundred to more than a thousand), …

Excerpt: So from the beginning, the Reformed Protestant church condemned paedocommunion as well as administering the Lord's supper with both serious and extensive warnings and threats and serious and extensive encouragements and promises. Today, postmillennial paedocommunionists only give serious and extensive encouragements and promises. * * * Sup…

Excerpt: [W]hy should we offer poison instead of life-giving food to our tender children? - John Calvin condemning paedocommunion Each of us has spent significant time the past couple of years warning brothers and sisters in Christ against Moscow’s promotion of their paedocommunion schism. We’ve decided it's time to revisit our warnings here at War…

Excerpt: As I write, Ryken and his fellow administrators have been announcing several campus celebrations of their Report's spiritual accomplishments, congratulating themselves publicly and issuing invitations to join them in their joy. Recently they publicized their latest one, announcing they had issued an invitation to the Rev. Dr. Charlie Dates…

Excerpt: But let us keep in mind the point of this article. President J. Oliver Buswell Jr. had founded the Department of Anthropology at Wheaton way back in 1937 when Anthropology was the "principal science concerned with race," and this Wheaton College Statement on Race Relations produced by Wheaton's Department of Sociology and Anthropology was …

Excerpt: President Phil Ryken along with his Trustees and employees have judged President Buswell uncharitably, and this is sin. If any of us were to put ourselves in President Buswell's shoes, we would easily see ourselves doing as he did. If President Ryken and his Trustees were to put themselves in President Buswell's shoes, they would easily se…

Excerpt: Now is the time to be wise as serpents. Many of the men who, in your hour of need, will present themselves to you as so-called "conservatives" in the PCA, yet they have managed to continue within the post-Revoice PCA without making any fuss noticeable enough to get the powers-that-be angry at them. How does that work? Hasn't your congregat…

Excerpt: Mom, you especially have been an example to me. I know I kid you frequently about your frugality; but even more frequently, I see how you are able to help us all when we have needs, because of your own selflessness. Plus, there is no mistaking who Mary Lee’s mother is. When I interview candidates for our church and talk with other pastors.…

Excerpt: Finally (and maybe the very worst thing about the Report as a report), is that G.R.A.C.E. in their Report neither recommends not brings any accountability to Tenth's pastors and elders who sinned so flagrantly against their flock. Really, it would have been better if the Report had not been written than to write it using nostrums like the …

Excerpt: It's been seven weeks since G.R.A.C.E. released their Report documenting the betrayal of the souls of Tenth Presbyterian Church by their pastors and elders. This betrayal is most visible in the G.R.A.C.E. Report, starting with the facts they record concerning Sr. Minister Phil Ryken leading his elders to cover up the homoerotic assaults ag…

Excerpt: Below is the transcript of the statement the Session of Tenth Presbyterian Church wrote and posted on Vimeo, explaining why they cancelled the congregational meeting they'd called for this past Sunday, January 7, 2024. In this article, I make some comments hoping they will be helpful to those involved in the mess, helping them to see why t…

Excerpt: The Session of Tenth Presbyterian Church (Presbyterian Church in America) has betrayed their trust to guard their sheep. For them to present themselves now as "lovers" of their sheep and the adults in the room who can be trusted—making this claim in the wake of (only) their most recent scandal of Goligher's abandonment of his call—is ludic…

Excerpt: Christian organizations and church officers often take down statements they have, at first, made publicly. Thus during conflict, they control information. For the permanent record then, this is the transcript of the statement the Session of Tenth Presbyterian Church just posted on Vimeo. Here their spokesman explains why he and his fellow …

Excerpt: Since my shepherd keeps watch over my soul as a man who will give account to the Chief Shepherd, I recommit myself to submit to him, seeking his growth and wellbeing, and thereby our flock's growth and wellbeing.

Excerpt: What started it all was a group of students who called themselves "the collective of BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, and People of Color] students and alumni of Wheaton College" demanding the "immediate removal of President James Oliver Buswell’s name from the college’s library." As it turned out, full submission to their demand of "immediate re…

Excerpt: What is critically important to recognize at this late date is this: the abuse of authority committed by shepherds who refuse to defend such victims from their predators is more evil than the terrible abuse of the predators themselves. Why? * * * Support Warhorn here. Music is Rise Up, O Lord, a recording of Psalm 10 by My Soul Among Lions…

Excerpt: Seventeen years before President Buswell was hired, Wheaton College had suffered a scandal that reached national proportions. This scandal started with President Charles Blanchard accepting a Black female applicant for mid-year matriculation, Winter/Spring Semester of 1909. This young woman's name was Nellie Bryant, and her application to …

Excerpt: Kevin DeYoung recently wrote a piece critical of Doug Wilson and the “mood” in Moscow, Idaho, center of Doug’s burgeoning movement. Kevin’s piece has fallen flat, leading (if Twitter responses constitute a representative sample) to more criticism of Kevin than Doug. I suspect Kevin, essentially an irenicist and a generally reasonable guy, …

Excerpt: There are a host of circumstances that may complicate the presbytery's debate and vote on the termination of a pastor's call: Does the congregation want the pastor's call terminated or not? Does the session want the pastor's call terminated or not? Does the pastor want his call terminated or not? Is there sin or violation of proper process…
