Got stuff to do the rest of the day and not likely to be back until bed-time. One last stir of the ol’ pot here and I’m off:
In spite of my poking his eye for being jaded, I think Joe Carter is onto something.
And here’s my one-liner for the discussion so far: I see politics (not necessarily Government, but what we do as politics) as overt legalism, which is a minimalistic approach to the trouble in this world, no matter how many whirligigs you put on it; the Gospel is greater than Law and is therefore a comprehensive approach to all the trouble in the world.
And when I say it that way, I sound more like Doug Wilson that I probably want to let on. And no I didn’t baptize any babies.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
