When I was looking at the posts this morning, I think I accidentally deleted somebody’s post. I don’t have any way of retrieving it, and so it that was you, sorry about that. Feel free to repost it, and I won’t do it again.
A Memorial Before the Lord
There are two fundamental errors to avoid in coming to the Table of the Lord. We readily recognize the first, and so there is a temptation to think that this is the only possible error—so we will consider it in the second place. The error that characterizes modernity is the sin of arid rationalism. In …
Keep Yourselves From Idols
Your only redemption is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Your only Redeemer is the Son of God sent from heaven. He is the image of the only wise God, and He is the way to the Father. You are called to worship God the Father through Him, and you are called to do so in …
Lord Willing and the Creeks Don’t Rise
Here is the breakdown for our upcoming Trinity Fest, our second annual event of this nature and magnitude. Just around the corner, check your calenders. That Monday, after registration and kicking off with some history lectures, the party begins with St. Brigid’s Feast. Last year we consumed vast quantities of bone-in chicken swimming in a …
Moses the Blender
Chapter Two of Waters’ book is on covenant and biblical history. This post will not go on and on, but for two cents, it could. “What is clear is Wilson’s emphasis upon grace as the hallmark of the first covenant and as the principle that unites the first and second covenants” (p. 31). This is …
Arguments and Character
One of the things that sinful men do to escape accountability is to pretend that they are deeply concerned about higher abstract principles. They want to detach character and history from all their disputes, and they want to do it for what should be obvious reasons. When Jesus was dealing with the woman who had …
God of the Great Creation
Minister: Lift up your hearts! Congregation: We lift them up to the Lord! God of the great creation, God of the hazy, distant mountains, God of the grass beneath our feet, God of the water that all of us drink, We worship You now in the name of Jesus. God of salvation, God of the …
A Converting Ordinance?
One of the debates that the Church has had about this ordinance (and there have been many) is the debate over whether this is a converting ordinance. And the debate itself reveals the problem we have in formulating out theological opinions when it comes to the matter of saving grace. We want a tame God. …
Scholarship on Stilts
NB: This post had the wrong tag applied to it, and so I do not think it made it into the Auburn Avenue ebook. Chapter One is Guy Waters’ introduction to and overview of the Federal Vision. In this chapter, he discusses names, players, and some of the foundational theological issues, particularly the definition of …
Why the Floor Plans Were All So Similar
“So Gropius falls upon the thorns of life; he bleeds. And his architecture is based upon a sociology of human relations which in turn rests on the exigencies of keeping a number of affairs going at once. This is the human matrix out of which the Wohnmaschine grows (the speech of this name was written …
