A La Carte (4/7)

An Interview with Ligon Duncan
"Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III came to Australia in April 2009 as the guest speaker for the 150th Anniversary of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria. This provided an opportunity to request an interview with him. Graciously, he agreed..."
The Best Prepared Award
This article explains why Canada is uniquely placed as we encounter this economic downturn. A good quote: "And the most impressive thing of all about Canada's position is that you are probably reading about it for the first time. Canadians are so sensible they even have the sense not to brag, in case things turn out badly for them after all. "
That's Easter
Here are two videos courtesy of St. Helen's Bishopsgate. They are evangelistic and meant to be viewed around Easter.

An Interview with William Black
This interview is very, very interesting. Bill Moyer interviews William Black who suggests that this economic crisis had its origins in the outrageous greed of a very few people and that the government is simply making it worse. And all this from a vocal Obama supporter.

Ya know:

* I knew that Duncan went by his middle name
* I knew that his first initial is “J”
* I knew he had a doctorate

But I’ve never seen those three facts together before. So it didn’t occur to me until today that he has the same name as my favorite 76er. ;-)

Moyers Interview. Wow. Gripping article. Black’s comment toward the end sent me cold: “I don’t know whether we’ve lost our capability of outrage.”

I could not help but think of Judgment Stage #3 in Romans 1 when reading. Also, without knowing it, it convincingly makes the case for headship, i.e. Adam and Christ. We inherited sin from Adam. We gain our righteousness in Christ. And as citizens of a republic, when our “head” - those who lead us - go bad, we all suffer.
