There is a very long thread over at TC called “don’t wife them up”. It talks about the number of men who end up being destroyed by the people who they marry. Marriage minded men are not filtering well. I’ll use Cranberry’s story as an illustration here. My husband’s cousin is one of these guys. Happened long before I met my husband, but Cuz still … Read More →
The Broken get it.
The first thing about this passage is that one of the Pharisees invited Jesus into his home and he went. Jesus did not spend all his time with sinners, but also with those who had theological training and were seeking righteousness. Those who did not think they were broken, but counted themselves as righteous. And then a whore enters the room and starts kissing his … Read More →
Don’t subvert the discourse. Reverse it.
A large amount of the philosophy around politics, in both the right and the left, is postmodern. These people do not talk about the truth, because they only see the truth as a social construct, driven by the narrative or discourse of society, and with signfiers or code words or dog whistles attached within it that encode the values of society. They therefore think that … Read More →
The failure of the panoptican state.
It is one of those times when the over reach of Washington is apparent. The example they have is remarkably illuminating. Sincce 9/11, they have increased the surveillance of the US population, as has the UK, where in London you are continually watched. The NSA has been monitoring the emails, files within the cloud… for many corporations, and (interestingly) prosecuting for piracy and wire fraud … Read More →
Warfare == submission.
. The word submission has a bad press. The feminists and the progressives continually claim that they are following the rules of liberty: that they alone are the masters of their fate. At the same time they try to regulate speech, so that no one can say they are evil. Their aims are destructive, their tactics are those of the bully, and they believe they … Read More →
The church as feminine.
Today we have a text that makes those end time people happy, because they can start talking about what each little bit means, and symbols. and powers and aouthorities. The sunday text includes two passages — the one I quote and one from the Gospel, where a widow’s son is returned to life (When Jesus did this is Nain, the people seeing this knew that … Read More →
Purge the pagan from us.
Today is the start of the scholarship groups for final year high school people and there is a reception for these candidates at the University. Son one has an invite, and last night was printing He made a comment that “Dunedin is weird. This dies not happen anywehere else in NZ“. And this got me thinking how NZ has a quality that Europe has, that … Read More →
Against Islam.
Many out there are looking at the Islamic riots, and the growing arrogance (and fertility) of that group, and considering that they are the strong horse, they are joining them. Fools. They have fallen into a common lie — that the society is going to fall apart, and there is nothing we can do but join them. That society sets the rules, not nature, and … Read More →
Look at the consequences, do not listen to the ideology (The first scientific experiment).
The time may be getting shorter, but Christ is delaying his return. In today’s other readings there is Revelations 10:5, in which an angel says there will be no delay. But at present, the return is delayed. regardless, during this time those who are pagan, who are evil, are becoming more bold and the cost of discipleship is becoming clearer. We are in a time … Read More →
Ignore the news, but not information.
One of the things that happens if you read widely is that you stop being a low information person You can be sucked into spending all your time flicking between the news channels, and that would be an error, for the deep trends are not there. And you can live within a bubble, and think that everything is perfectly fine, because you miss what is … Read More →
