Excerpt:
If one were to separate the positives and negatives in Scripture, what proportion would we say are positive and what negative? Some might quibble over the definitions of "positive" and "negative" so another way to approach the issue is asking how much of Scripture is given over to recording God's promises as opposed to His warnings; His blessings as opposed to His curses?* * *

Excerpt:
In 1940, Wheaton's Trustees were scandalized by President Buswell's battle against heresy. They wanted a peaceful campus and non-controversial president, so they fired President Buswell and promoted history prof, V. Raymond Edman, into the presidency.* * *

Excerpt:
During (Buswell's) tenure as president (1926-1940), the College's endowment expanded substantially, both the faculty and the student body roughly tripled in size (from a few hundred to more than a thousand), and the school's academic rigor and national (and international) reputation grew as never before. Wheaton had become what some have referred to as "the Harvard of Fundamentalism." But these dramatic changes were not accompanied by a more expansive vision for racial equality.[fn]Report, 13.[/fn]
Ryken, his Trustees and faculty grudgingly admit this in their Report. But note their final sentence. They couldn't help themselves:The reader of such effete criticism must, of course, understand every last member of the Task Force, administration, and Board of Trustees is certain he himself is in possession of the most expansive vision for racial equality possible. But it should strike fear into the hearts of these faultless men judging Buswell to spend a moment asking themselves what other expansive visions of impeccable moral equality their successors ninety years from now will discover as future generations turn to examining the detritus of their own lives, then denouncing them and purging their names from Wheaton's campus.

Excerpt:
So from the beginning, the Reformed Protestant church condemned paedocommunion as well as administering the Lord's supper with both serious and extensive warnings and threats and serious and extensive encouragements and promises.
Today, postmillennial paedocommunionists only give serious and extensive encouragements and promises.* * *

[W]hy should we offer poison instead of life-giving food to our tender children?
- John Calvin condemning paedocommunionEach of us has spent significant time the past couple of years warning brothers and sisters in Christ against Moscow’s promotion of their paedocommunion schism. We’ve decided it's time to revisit our warnings here at Warhorn. The schism should not be simply the subject of private warnings, but also public warnings and condemnations. This is for the restoration of the unity of the Church, but also for the protection of the souls of the sheep God has entrusted to us for feeding and protection.

Dear Wheaton College Community,On behalf of the Historical Review Implementation Task Force, you are invited to attend the Historical Review Symposium on Tuesday, March 12: "Repentance, Responsibility, and Renewal"
As I write, Ryken and his fellow administrators have been announcing several campus celebrations of their Report's spiritual accomplishments, congratulating themselves publicly and issuing invitations to join them in their joy. Recently they publicized their latest one, announcing they had issued an invitation to the Rev. Dr. Charlie Dates to come and bless them for their surrogate repentance:* * *

Excerpt:
But let us keep in mind the point of this article. President J. Oliver Buswell Jr. had founded the Department of Anthropology at Wheaton way back in 1937 when Anthropology was the "principal science concerned with race," and this Wheaton College Statement on Race Relations produced by Wheaton's Department of Sociology and Anthropology was the fruit of President Buswell's opposition to racism.
Who has the temerity to deny this?
President Buswell was no fundamentalist, hick, or country bumpkin. He knew precisely what he was doing when he hired Alexander Grigolia, the Sorbonist, to profess Anthropology part time. He knew precisely what he was doing when he brought Grigolia on full time. He knew precisely what he was doing when he tasked Grigolia with founding Wheaton's Department of Anthropology way back in 1937 when, as Wheaton College today brags, "Wheaton's Anthropology program was one of the first of its kind among national liberal arts colleges."* * *

President Phil Ryken along with his Trustees and employees have judged President Buswell uncharitably, and this is sin.If any of us were to put ourselves in President Buswell's shoes, we would easily see ourselves doing as he did. If President Ryken and his Trustees were to put themselves in President Buswell's shoes, they would easily see themselves doing as he did. With them, we would do well to ask ourselves what we would have done differently?

Now is the time to be wise as serpents. Many of the men who, in your hour of need, will present themselves to you as so-called "conservatives" in the PCA, yet they have managed to continue within the post-Revoice PCA without making any fuss noticeable enough to get the powers-that-be angry at them. How does that work? Hasn't your congregation had enough of so-called "conservatives" who hide from danger?Don't go with the old and established again. It's done you wrong.

Excerpt:
Finally (and maybe the very worst thing about the Report as a report), is that G.R.A.C.E. in their Report neither recommends not brings any accountability to Tenth's pastors and elders who sinned so flagrantly against their flock.
Really, it would have been better if the Report had not been written than to write it using nostrums like the need for better communication and "transparency." When such evil is recounted and the Report follows up by saying this and that evil need better "transparency," what the reader learns is that evil has no consequences. He learns to sin that the work of G.R.A.C.E. may abound.
No teeth at all. Not a single consequence required by the Report for those who betrayed their calling to protect Tenth's sheep.* * *

It's been seven weeks since G.R.A.C.E. released their Report documenting the betrayal of the souls of Tenth Presbyterian Church by their pastors and elders. This betrayal is most visible in the G.R.A.C.E. Report, starting with the facts they record concerning Sr. Minister Phil Ryken leading his elders to cover up the homoerotic assaults against young men committed by Tenth's choir director, Paul Jones.
Ryken and his elders were informed of Jones's crimes back in 2001.* * *

Excerpt:
The Session of Tenth Presbyterian Church (Presbyterian Church in America) has betrayed their trust to guard their sheep. For them to present themselves now as "lovers" of their sheep and the adults in the room who can be trusted—making this claim in the wake of (only) their most recent scandal of Goligher's abandonment of his call—is ludicrous and should immediately be shut down by both the congregation and Philadelphia Presbytery (BCO 11-4)...* * *
