Or So I Maintain

Posted on Tuesday, July 17, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“But the fact that it is a commonplace does not keep it from being true. Many truisms are true” (5 Cities, p. 45).

How the Bride Entered the World

Posted on Friday, July 13, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“We forget where we came from. We forget our birthplace. We were created when the Lord Jesus died on a beam of wood, and another shaft of wood drove a spearhead into Him. That spearhead was the culminiation of a grotesque judicial murder. But the folly of man is wisdom to God, and so when …

A Knife for the Right Hand

Posted on Friday, July 13, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Abraham is the father of all who believe because of what he did on Mount Moriah when he took the knife in his hand to show how firmly he believed the promise of God. And since that time, every son of Abraham has come to faith with a knife in his right hand” (5 Cities, …

Deep Meaning, Right on the Surface

Posted on Thursday, July 12, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Any preacher who uses commentaries when preaching through Old Testament books can testify how rare it is for the apostolic interpretation to be taken into any kind of account by the commentator as he seeks to find the meaning of the text before him. Surely this should be a cause for astonishment. Sometimes commentators do …

A Deep Sixing Sanctification

Posted on Thursday, July 12, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“I remember being taught as a child that we should be like the Sea of Galilee and not like the Dead Sea. Both are fed by the same Jordan River, and yet, because the Dead Sea has no outlet, it is not conducive to life. The Sea of Galilee, on the other hand, is teeming …

And It Is Often Not What You Thought

Posted on Wednesday, July 11, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“An exercise that could be very helpful to pastors in accomplishing this mindset is one that was instrumental in helping me shake loose of many of the unbiblical doctrinal assumptions I had picked up over the years . . . The thing to do is fix the problem yourself with marker pens. Look up every …

Christ in All

Posted on Tuesday, July 10, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Christ was a Rock that followed the Jews in the wilderness (1 Cor. 10:3-4). The flood in Noah’s time was a typological representation of Christian baptism. The bronze serpent in the wilderness was a type of the crucifixion. Sarah and Hagar were representiative types of two covenants. Melchizedek was a type of Christ and the …

Lots of Dead Fish

Posted on Monday, July 9, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“A word fitly spoken, an apt metaphor, will do more teaching, more revealing, than the most precisionistic word-chopping, lengthwise or otherwise. After all, the kingdom of God is like a pile of dead fish (Mt. 13:47)” (A Primer on Worship and Reformation, pp. 44-45).

Manifest Zionism

Posted on Monday, July 9, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“You do not have to think nineteenth-century Zionism was a great idea to be willing to acknowledge that Israel’s presence there now is an accomplished fact . . . One hundred years after the fact, someone can believe that Manifest Destiny was a pernicious doctrine and yet live in Oregon or Nevada” (5 Cities, p. …

One of the Liveliest Places on Earth

Posted on Friday, July 6, 2012Tuesday, June 25, 2013 by Douglas Wilson

“Such conservative and safe preaching is neither conservative nor safe. A preacher must never behave as though he were an engineer trying to write a phone book . . . The pulpit should be one of the liveliest places on earth, because in it, words are imitating the Word” (A Primer on Worship and Reformation, …
