A Warm Invitation to Child Communion

Posted on Monday, June 10, 2024Wednesday, June 12, 2024 by Douglas Wilson

Dear Darrel, Thanks for your letter, and for the pointed questions about child communion. Please thank your session for me as well. It is rare to find the combination of attributes that I see in your ...

Inescapable Partaking

Posted on Saturday, September 9, 2023Saturday, September 9, 2023 by Douglas Wilson

A common mistake with regard to the Lord’s Table is that of thinking that something is happening here that never happens anywhere else in the world. But it would be more accurate to say that the thing that distinguishes this Table is with whom it happens . . . not what happens. This is what …

On the Filling of the Spirit

Posted on Sunday, December 6, 2020Sunday, December 6, 2020 by Douglas Wilson

The Holy Spirit is present with us here, now. As we come to this Table, He is the one who makes it all efficacious. Now He is always at work, regardless of our disheveled condition. He deals with us when we come prepared as we should have been prepared, and He deals with us when …

Like Double A Batteries Do

Posted on Saturday, October 17, 2020Saturday, October 17, 2020 by Douglas Wilson

We are finite beings, limited and bounded. And yet, the way we were created, we expend energy. This means that we run down, like Double A batteries do. We run out. We get depleted. On the physical level, this is what food and drink do. They nourish us. They build us up. They strengthen us. …

A Performative Act

Posted on Sunday, October 4, 2020Sunday, October 4, 2020 by Douglas Wilson

A Performative Act The words of institution for this Supper are a performative act. They are not magic words that change the bread and wine into anything else, but yet, at the same time, we really do partake of the Lord Jesus by faith. That it is not a miracle can be seen in the …

Solemn Engagement

Posted on Saturday, February 15, 2020Saturday, February 15, 2020 by Douglas Wilson

Because we live in a time that does not understand covenants, and which makes personal choice the foundation of everything, we sometimes do not know how to respond to people who are on the verge of walking away from the most solemn commitments. We believe that our loyalties and our commitments are assigned to us. …

All Who Are Bread Should Get Bread

Posted on Sunday, January 19, 2020Sunday, January 19, 2020 by Douglas Wilson

Because our church community is growing so rapidly, it is necessary for us to remind you of certain things from time to time, and this is one such reminder. If you are new to our community, as many of you are, you may have noticed that our children worship together with us, though the entire …

Remarkable Resources

Posted on Saturday, October 26, 2019Saturday, October 26, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

The Lord Jesus gave His followers a commission to disciple all the nations of the earth. These are the marching orders. This is why we are here, and not whisked straight off to Heaven. This is a tall order because the world does not want to be converted. The world loves its sin, and wants …

Action as the Foundation of Knowledge

Posted on Saturday, May 25, 2019Saturday, May 25, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

“And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19). Knowing and understanding are certainly important, but knowledge is built upon doing, not the other way around. In the verse I just read …

A Prepared Meal

Posted on Saturday, January 26, 2019Saturday, January 26, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

At this Table, God delights to feed us. But God does not just feed us, He prepares us to be fed. He undertakes the feeding, and He undertakes the preparation for feeding. Of course, the preparations began before the foundation of the world, when God the Father elected a people for Himself. And the preparations …
