To become Fire is the End of Man. We're drawn towards it inexorably. We will all burn, one way or another. Present yourself.

A good, modern, philosophy education should center Plato, Berkeley, and Barfield.

Establishing that some course of action is permissible in general does not establish that it is prudent in a particular case. The argument for a course of action has to deal with the particulars of the case.

A lot of Presbyterian formal discipline is tooled for an establishment context. Adapting discipline to a more distributed, voluntary context is a pressing concern. Lots of room for creative development and ressourcement here. The early church did not have magisterial backing, but.

Missionary zeal is of a piece with imperial ambition. The forward march of conquest in the name of an Empire won't be gained by the demure.

Having ambition in the pursuit of excellence does not necessarily mean you've been captured by the idols of the world. If the PCA is serious about its church planting goals, we must inspire/nurture that virtue in young men & not undermine it by introducing constant self-doubt.

"The Best" claims a love and respect, as "The Best", that inferior things, even "Mine", don't.

On the other hand, "The Best" cannot eclipse "Mine" solely by virtue of being better. A drug addict son proves himself unworthy of the family and ought to be disinherited unless he reforms. But you don't leave your estate to a stranger just because your son is a carpenter rather.

There is a tension between the love of "mine" and the love of "the best" that can't be simply resolved in one direction or the other. There is a threshold below which "Mine" may degenerate such that dispossession or disavowal is necessary.

". He hews the act,.The indifferent deed with dint of his mallet.And his chisel of choice; achievement comes not.Unhelped by him – hired gladiator.Of evil and good. All’s one to Mars,.The wrong righted, rescued meekness,.Or trouble in trenches, with trees splintered.And birds.

"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.".

The better part of gardening and farming is judiciously choosing what to kill. Weeding, pruning, culling, thinning, slaughter. This puts the Bible's use of the agricultural metaphor in a certain light.
