Wednesday, May 31, 2006. After almost thirteen years of living in Saint Louis we'll be moving back to SC in a few weeks. We'll miss a lot of things about Saint Louis but some things we won't miss at all. Here's a top ten (or so) list of each. We'll miss:. 2 Free stuff (Zoo, Botantical gardens, Grant's Farm, Tower Grove Park. 3 Educational Instiutions (Covenant Seminary, Saint Louis University, Providence Christian Academy). 4 Cultural and Ethnic Diversity. 5 Ethnic restaraunts (Indian food is so good).

Saturday, December 09, 2006. Van Til on Culture and Religion II. What is the difference between culture and civilization? Van Til says all civilizations have a culture but not all cultures mount the pinacle of civilization. Civilization is culture advanced, matured, well-aged. Van Til uses the idea of culture to attack those who call man an "animal." Why? But what about culture and individual freedom? Does culture determine what we are? The problem with apostate culture is that it is too conernend with t...

Sunday, February 25, 2007. Augustine’s Enchiridion: A little book worth reading. Most anything by Augustine is worth reading. At the top, arguably, is the Confessions. But equally famous, and more lengthy, is a book that might serve as stepladder for some (or as the supreme work on the follies of paganism for others), the massive, City of. Less lengthy but no less stimulating is On the Trinity. For the uninitiated-to-Augustine The Augustine Catechism: Enchiridion on Faith, Hope, and Love. Augustine also ...

T. Chris Crain: November 2006
http://tchriscrain.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 28, 2006. Van Til on Culture and Religion. While Van Til is concerned with culture he knows that culture, by itself, does not restore man, for that would be Pelagianism. As image-bearers of God, all humans will contribute to culture, but what kind of spirit animates that culture? He draws an antithesis between godly culture and ungodly culture (23). Posted by T. Chris at Tuesday, November 28, 2006. Links to this post. The Calvinistic Concept of Culture. As a counter-point He quotes Matt...

Logopneumatika: A Favorite Section of The Book of Church Order
http://logopneumatika.blogspot.com/2009/05/favorite-section-of-book-of-church.html
Pontifications and Derivations on Text and Tradition in a Word-Spirit World. Wednesday, May 6, 2009. A Favorite Section of The Book of Church Order. Yes, I know. The Presbyterian Book of Church Order has been prescribed as a cure for insomnia, but believe it or not, there are some sections in which the glorious light of the Gospel shines forth, piercing the otherwise dank, dense world of Latinate instructions on church polity. One of those sections is found 6-1, a section devoted to Church Members. In th...

Pontifications and Derivations on Text and Tradition in a Word-Spirit World. Friday, December 19, 2008. Michael Horton on Joel Osteen. From Michael Horton's new book Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church. Osteen seems to think that we are basically good people and God has a very easy way for us to save ourselves- not from his judgment, but from.

Logopneumatika: As the Ruin Falls by C.S. Lewis
http://logopneumatika.blogspot.com/2008/12/as-ruin-falls-by-cs-lewis.html
Pontifications and Derivations on Text and Tradition in a Word-Spirit World. Thursday, December 18, 2008. As the Ruin Falls by C.S. Lewis. All this flashy rhetoric about loving you. I never had a selfless thought since I was born. I am mercenary and self-seeking through and through;. I want God, you, all friends, merely to serve my turn. Peace, reassurance, pleasure, are the goals I seek,. I cannot crawl one inch outside my proper skin:. I talk of love - a scholar's parrot may talk Greek -.

Monday, January 01, 2007. This is a review of the fine book, Wisdom and Eloquence. Littlejohn and Evans emphasize that the trivium is a set of subjects and disciplines, not a pedagogy or theory of cognitive development (33-42, 74, 89). They find no place in the history of the liberal arts for Sayers’s theory. They note that many are confused by the paradigm. Parents ask, Do my children just learn facts in the grammar stage?
