Jordan Peterson recently interviewed Douglas Murray, on the release of his new book, The War on the West. This was the best articulation of a not-quite Christian cultural conservatism I've heard in a LONG time. Murray may be the next Bill Buckley. Peterson tends to interrupt and talk more than his guest on these podcasts, but not this time! Murray steals the show. [I couldn't find an online link. It is dated April 25 and is on the podcast.]
This sermon by Douglas Wilson on Palm Sunday is excellent. Sadly, he is too friendly to the zealots, who he never mentions by name, probably because he and his audience are becoming increasingly zealot-like in their outlook. Jesus refuted the Zealots, He didn't encourage them in any way. Besides that, Wilson's survey of the history of the time and how it relates to us is dynamite.
Toby Sumpter has a short exhortation to hospitality in the church that is much needed in our post-Covid moment. Get over your germophobia, or clinging to your personal time and space, and share your home and table with others. As another online friend has said well, the best way to prepare for any looming cultural crisis is to build high-trust communities NOW.
