Pessimism, reductionism, escapism, inconsistency, cultural passivity. You are putting emphasize on many of the reasons I just left a baptist church in favor of a Presbyterian church (that hopefully will be apart of CREC over time, Lord willing). You are right, this is a time to fight together and plunder satans domain and the Lord has exhorted us with an eschatology of victory to do just that. He must be Lord of all. We must be courageous to promote the Lordship of Christ
so the culture experiences the Lordship of Christ.
And I would add as an artist, we must make sure that this is also charactarized as beautiful because of it's unity of truth and goodness. As stewards from all walks of life come together, let us make sure music and environments are consistent too with the beauty of the gospel and the Kingdom of God.
A huge inconsistency is that the overwhelming majority of evangelical churches (with their utilitariansm and minimalism in the arts) are on the lowest end of the beauty scale of all Christian deniminations and all world religions. Let's solve that inconsistency too while we are at it, shall we?

Good job. We really do need to see the G3 sorts, the DeYoung sorts, the Moscow sorts, the Founders Ministry sorts, and the SBC reformed sorts finding a way make good on all that they share. I am Southern Baptist. I think Wilson is the clearest and most, what, mature of the players. He is certainly the one most consistently willing to engage and be friends afterward--like mature Christian men.

We need the Doug Wilsons who will perturb those who willingly bend God's word to the spirit of the age. He is not genteel, but this is not a genteel age, and he has waded into a rough and tumble culture. Everyday believers are in the middle of it, too. As if it weren't enough to battle the world, we find ourselves clashing against worldliness dressed up as Christian erudition. We need sharp analysis, not the mutual admiration club in the name of "charity." For example, when Wilson says things like "I used to read the NIV until it began cross-dressing" (approximate paraphrase), it rankles the genteel who would "Plea for Realism" rather than maintain the Bible's inherent masculinity against a feminized age. The enemy may be subtle, Wilson is not. We need sharp, clear, incisive language now more than ever.

Everyone has a "mood". But what motivated DeYoung to think it prudent to single out the mood in Moscow as if it comes very close to being an illegitimate expression of Christian faith and worthy of suspicion is beyond me. But hats off once again to Mr. Wilson for taking the high road at the tail end of his rejoinder and offering to meet at a time and place most convenient to DeYoung and his associates to discuss the issues that DeYoung thinks are so important confronting us as Christians. So far, not a peep from DeYoung - which speaks volumes!
