Theology That Bites Back
“Christianity is not a faith that was developed from scratch. Christians have always rested their New Testament on the foundation of the Old Testament. This means that we have always considered ourselves to be in some sense the true heirs of the promises God made to His people.”

“There was only one sacrifice, not two, for us men
And for our salvation, but still we rejoice

21 Prayers, p. 32
“This means that every Christian who partakes of the Lord’s Supper, regardless of how many Norwegians were unearthed by his AncestryDNA tests, is claiming to be part of the true Israel of God.

But some of my reasons for that are clearly in need of an explanation. Under ordinary circumstances, which …
“When the first missionaries got to Hawaii, they were not welcomed by a committee of Swedes, Jews, and Eskimos. The message of Pentecost does not reduce to a spiritual quota system. But at the same time, we need to recognize that the Holy of Holies is now everywhere (1 Cor. 3:16). The sanctuary has not been decentralized, but rather pancentralized.”

“Stand in the pass behind us, we pray,
And lower Your spear against their pursuit.
Turn them all back from their wicked attacks.
Rout them, we pray, and scatter them all.
Chase them like chaff in a hard and stiff wind.”
