A Tale of Two Houses (Wisdom and Folly)

I ran across this article today and I just wanted to share it and update y'all a little bit since we haven't been around much.

(1) A dude named Mike Halsey wrote a five page article in pdf format titled "The Salmonella Supper" on Proverbs 9:13-18 which does a great job of exposing the lies and fluffy blankets people like to comfort themselves with; And really, always have.

You can read it here:

He exposes the lie that this culture is more difficult to live in than yesterday's culture (be it, literally yesterday or many hundreds or thousands of years ago).

He exposes the lies that woman named Folly (literally "Stupidity") proclaims for all to hear:

“There is no absolute truth.” “Man is an accident.” “There is no right and wrong.” “What’s right and what’s wrong change.” “The Bible is filled with errors.” “You can’t know anything for sure.” These statements are enshrined as authoritative and the studied conclusion of scholars. They sit high up in positions of authority. They are to be accepted; not questioned. That’s what Stupidity does; she elevates herself, sitting at a high point in the city. (vs. 14)

Anyway, I could go on but you should just go read it yourself and the passage too (Proverbs 9)!

(2) Brandon and I will be at the Free Grace Alliance conference! I'm stoked! It'll be great to meet all sorts of Dispie and free grace people, to see people from Dallas Theological Seminary, Tyndale Theological Seminary, Grace School of Theology, Friends of Israel, and others, and to enjoy fellowship and great Bible teaching by many including the basically world renowned Dr. Charles Ryrie!

(3) Personally, I've been busy with work, finishing up an awesome class at CBS to start the counseling stuff, teaching a junior high boys bible study, and growling/playing metal with some friends. So, that's why I haven't been around these parts, but I'm hoping to be on more regularly.

So anyway, I pray y'all have been well, that Christ is being magnified, glorified, and known through you, conforming you to His image! Battle on brothers and sisters!

FOR HIS GLORY
