Power Tools

“Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, like a mighty man who shouts because of wine. And He beat back His enemies; He put them to a perpetual reproach.”  Psalm 78:65-66

“I’m a 30 year old boy.” Edward Norton, Fight Club.

Guns are dangerous. They are so offensive in fact, that they should be prohibited altogether. And male leadership has been abused so much, and women exploited for so long, that such headship should also be shamed and even prohibited. And alcohol. Alcohol leads to so much misery that it also should be prohibited. Oh, wait. That’s us.

Everything God gave us that is powerful is inherently dangerous — if misused. Legislation that bans such “power tools” has given up on changing the abusers, and so prohibits the tools.

When the communion bread comes around, everyone else takes a pinch but I tear off a huge chunk. As a reprobate, I need Jesus. If I’m now a son invited to God’s table, my boldness brings glory to His sacrifice because that is what it rests upon. Sadly, I haven’t yet had the gumption to take three or four thimbles of wine, and it’s only grape juice anyhow. The Lord’s supper has become the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, “pants” being the operative word (I think that’s a UK expression).

No wonder Doug Wilson sees the Temperance movement as a product of feminisim. We are roosters served in pieces in a bucket. Chickified.

“Christian liberty is nothing other than slavery to God. The only alternative to this is slavery to man and his desires, and this includes the young man in question and his desires. But with all this said, winewas given to gladden the heart of man (Ps. 104:15), and one of the duties of a father has is that of teaching his son to drink.” Doug Wilson, Future Men.
