"I was the one completely responsible for her safety. What other choices were there."

Christianity and Liberty in America

The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other; and with them this conviction does not spring from that barren traditionary faith which seems to vegetate in the soul rather than to live.

- Alexis de Tocqueville, 1835

College and Maturity

The college system is not designed to mature people... If you’re waiting for your son to reach the college years to start working toward maturity, you’ve waited too long. We’ve got to start working toward maturity long before then … I got married my sophomore year at college, had a daughter when I was a junior, and, of course, having to work, raise a family, and do all of those things, my grades actually went up [though people were afraid of the opposite] just because of the level of maturity with which I approached that time of my life.

We have young men now who will go off to college, they don’t have to get a job, and we tell them not to get married until after that period of their life is over … so the 2 main things that God uses to mature a man are removed from them while they’re put in an environment where all the worst that the world has to offer is available to them 24 hours a day.

Before Thee Let My Cry Come Near

“Without a restoration of the Psalms to an honored place in worship, our musical worship of the Lord will continue to have the gravitas of a glad bag full of styrofoam packing peanuts.”

– Douglas Wilson, Mother Kirk: Essays on Church Life (p. 138)

Here is a video of one of the Psalms we had the privilege and pleasure of singing acapella today in our annual outdoor worship service at the Conquest Beach Park.

Full Daughters

Q: How does a father protect his daughter as she approaches the marriageable age?

A: "The best way I know to put it is:  ‘A father protects his daughter by “keeping her tank full’.’  When your daughter is a little girl, there ought to be a lot of praise and compliments and affection and time with dad.  Dad cares about her and dad takes her out on dates."
