The last day of Trinity Fest was as blessed as the first part of the festival. We were, are, and will be extremely grateful to God for His kindness to us. The day began with two lectures in the morning, and one just after lunch. I began by speaking on Francis Marion, the “Swamp Fox,” …
Trinity Fest 2005, Day Four
I did not post an update on Trinity Fest last night because when I got home I was fried. But it was a good kind of fried. But here it is for you, first thing in the morning. Dr. Lillback was delayed in getting in on Monday, but it was fortunate that his talks were …
Trinity Fest 2005, Day Three
Don’t have much time to write about this because I am tired from the proceedings, and am about to go to bed. The official history conference (encased like one of those Russian dolls inside the larger Trinity Fest) started today at the Kibbie Dome at noon. Great set-up there, and the folks at the Kibbie …
Trinity Fest 2005, Day Two
We are most grateful to God. The day began wonderfully, with a joint worship service of Christ Church, Trinity Reformed Church, and Christ Church, Spokane, along with all the early arrivals for Trinity Fest. The Lord gave us a seven day work week, and each week we have the privilege of building everything we do …
The Potency of Right Worship
INTRODUCTION: Many of the problems confronting modern Christians is that they diligently try to do the right thing . . . in the wrong categories. They try guitar fingering on a mandolin; they try chess rules on a backgammon board; they apply the rules of French grammar to English. And for us to draw attention …
Faithfulness Is Full of Faith
If we do not think about what we are doing here, and if we do not think about it in faith, then we are just so many donkeys gathered in a stable. The New Testament teaches plainly that a Christian gathering, in the name of the Lord Jesus, on the Lord’s Day, can do more …
Look Away
If we refuse to judge ourselves, the Word tells us, then God will undertake the task. But St. Paul adds that God does this so that we will not be condemned with the world. Judgment begins, Scripture tells us, with the household of God. Chastening begins with us so that it might not be the …
Trinity Fest 2005, Day One
Of course, this is actually the pre-func stuff. Trinity Fest proper starts on Monday, but people are starting to roll in from all over, and the “kick-off” event tonight was the ball sponsored by NSA, what they call their “Windy.” The SUB ballroom was full tonight, with hundreds of people having a really good time. …
Reminder
I want to begin by reminding everyone (again) that the Christ Church worship service tomorrow has been moved in both place and time. We were originally scheduled to be at the Kibbie Dome at 10 am, and we have moved the services to be at the Logos Field House at 9 am. There is a …
Heretical Cooties
I recently wrote to Steve Wilkins, saying that it was almost time for him to come up to Moscow again, bringing some of his heretical cooties with him. We were almost out, I said. He wrote back, somewhat too triumphantly I am afraid, with something about him having been declared fully orthodox by the Louisiana …
